The aerosol observing system (AOS) surface meteorology instrument is an ancillary sensor that provides temperature, relative humidity, pressure, wind speed and direction, and precipitation data relevant to the AOS. It consists of a Vaisala weather transmitter (WXT520 or WXT530) mounted on top of the AOS aerosol inlet, at a height of approximately 10 meters.
