Method and facilities for transmitting and receiving regional, up-to-date weather information and weather reports, uses LW RDS consisting of LW transmission station, a receiver and PWS weather station

摘要

Weather data from sources like the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute is passed on to an LW station with a data server and LW transmitter along a data transmission path. Data is compiled as data transmission protocols in a data server, then beamed out by the LW transmitter with available regional weather details, RDS protocols, details on type of message, transmission times and very exact clock times. A PWS receiver calls up such information selectively. Weather station consists of an LW data receiver, power management, a display device with special weather characters lines of text and a processor with operating elements. Regional weather information and weather reports can be selectively requested via these operating elements.
