The data is collected and stored at the station. Usually once every hour the data is transmitted
via the VHF radio and telephone equipment and inteserted into a database.
The web server is an Apache powered web server
run on a Red-Hat Linux system. Most code on the website
is written using a combination of HTML and PHP.
Various scripts that help to run the site are written in Perl. The code is programmed to dynamically query the
database (using MySQL) to find the most recently inserted data for the station. Case statements within
the code then determine which color should be displayed with the data to show the timeliness.
