A present weather sensor automatically detects and reports current atmospheric conditions including precipitation type (rain, snow, drizzle, freezing rain, hail), intensity, and visibility. OSI's sensors use a combination of in-beam optical scintillation, off-axis forward scattering, and optional acoustic detection, processed by DSP algorithms to deliver accurate, real-time weather codes in NWS and WMO formats.
