There are a number of Campbell Scientific-based personal weather stations in operation today. Recommended for You: For more detailed information about the protocol, read the “PWS – Upload Protocol” wiki entry.

This process can be quite easy for a Campbell Scientific data logger, such as a CR6, to perform using the HTTPGet() instruction and a few string operators. The Weather Underground protocol requires only a simple HTTP GET request with the station, user, and sensor information embedded into the URL. Their protocol is much simpler to use than many other hosted services you might find out there. Weather Underground provides a relatively simple web-based protocol for uploading data from a PWS. Their data products use information collected from many sources, including over 180,000 personal weather stations. Weather Underground is a service that provides weather observations and forecasts via the Internet.

In this article, I’ll show you how to post your data directly from an Internet-connected CR6 Measurement and Control Datalogger to Weather Underground. Over the years, you may have seen a number of Weather Underground PWS ( personal weather station) discussions and solutions posted on the Campbell Scientific User Forum. However, it continues to offer some insight into structuring a CRBasic program with Include() files, Sub() routine calls, and the use of the HTTPGet() instruction. Note: It appears that after this blog article was written, Weather Underground has been phasing out the “PWS – Upload Protocol.” The following tutorial may or may not work currently or in the future.
