| Abstract | The Malta Marsaxlokk Meteo station is an automatic real-time weather monitoring station positioned on the tip of the Marsaxlokk breakwater at a height of 4.5m above mean sea level. The station forms part of the meteo-marine observing system of the Physical Oceanography Research Group (Department of GeoSciences) of the University of Malta. It has been set up with partial funding by the RISKMED project which delivered an early warning system of adverse atmospheric conditions. The station provides important meteo information for the safer navigation of ships into and out of the port of Marsaxlokk. The station consists of robust sensors from Aanderaa Instruments measuring Wind Magnitude and Direction, Wind Gust, Atmospheric Pressure and Air Temperature every 2 minutes. Data is transmitted in real-time to the server at the PO-Res.Grp. centre where it is quality controlled and published online. | |||||||||
