DEOS stations measure many meteorological variables every 5 minutes, which are then transmitted to central servers at the University of Delaware for dissemination to the public via its website and other data services. DEOS supports emergency management, transportation, agriculture, energy, and natural resource interests throughout Delaware with numerous analytical products and services.
