Attention:
The sensors of the weather station are running autonomously. Please contact DWD for any inquiries.
Summary
The weather station at Heincke consists of several devices which autonomously measure standard parameters such as temperature, wind, humidity, barometric pressure, radiation and precipitation.

Components
Data of the different sensors are gathered by the central data aquisition unit which assorts them into telegrams.
- DWD weather report: This telegram contains weather data encoded as required by WMO guideline (FM-13 SHIP). It is generated once per hour and send via a DCP sender (DWD) to a Meteosat satellite. The sending antenna is installed on the portside of the main mast.
Data telegram for onboard DShip data aquisition: This telegram is constructed in accordance with the "NMEA 0183" standard.
Data telegram onboard weather station and PC: Data exchange is also conducted between a PC on the bridge deck and the data aquisition unit. The PC serves as a display for the weather data but can also be used for manually entering observations. The telegram is DWD-internal and does not follow any standards. It is not distributed to foreign users.
- No hight correction is applied to the measured data by means of their mounting points above sea surface. Mount point about sea surface ist given in metadata for each sensor.
