New ASOS Temperature/Dewpoint System

ValentineWeather:
Here's the aerial view, there is so much concrete and blacktop it's crazy.  It's actually much bigger than this, the Phoenix airport is just huge, and it's literally a heat island.

ASOSWX:
There was a requirement to have 1x1 or 2x2 (can't remember) patch of grass under the 1088, I always chuckled at that.  Previous to the ASOS,  the HO83 was usually sited with the F-420 winds and LBC, all separately (no array), and usually had "vegetation".

CW7491:
The program manager has been responsive and updates this website: https://www.weather.gov/asos/CurrentEvents.html

The new TRH sensor will be deployed at select operational test and evaluation sites on 1 November with the rest of the ASOS sites being upgraded in 2024 and into 2025. The program manager said he will update the website with the specific OT&E sites when they are operational.

ASOSWX:
The OT&E sites have been picked and the kits are being put together.  The ASOS Wind sensor replacement is about half complete.

CW7491:
I assume they will replace the HO-1088 and the DTS1 at the OT&E sites, or will they run concurrently for a time?
