The RAWS Depot
Sensors and key components of a Remote Automatic Weather Station (RAWS) station must be recalibrated or replaced on a regular basis to ensure the collection of consistent and reliable weather data. The Remote Sensing / Fire Weather Support Unit (RSFWSU) depot located in Boise, Idaho provides technical calibration, repair, and administrative support for these sensors and key components used throughout the RAWS interagency network.
