Citizen Weather Observer system
The weather data from Dave's Backyard is also transmitted to the
Citizen Weather Observer system via the APRSWXNET facility, which
is derived from a Ham Radio system orginally used for position
reporting and text messaging via Ham repeaters and networks.
That data is also collected by NOAA along with other amateur weather
data for their use.
