Yankee Environmental Systems, Inc. AIRHUB Met Data Receiver

The Airborne Met Data Receiver is a digital data receiver hub for soundings from either UAV or research aircraft. Like the METHUB receiver for ground stations, the AIRHUB automatically collects data into a database and presents and distributes sounding data in real time via TCP/IP networking. Data are stored locally in the event of ground data link or satcom link failure. It supports two way communications via standard RJ45 10/100BaseT LAN or RS-232 DB-9 serial ports interfaces. Additional one-way Irridium burst-mode satellite data modem and/or UHF point-to-point PPP radio link hardware is available as options. These options feed sounding data in near real time to back end Numerical Weather Prediction and hurricane tracking applications located on the ground.
