Established in Spring 2001 by undergraduate physics students, the main objectives of the weather station are the following:
- 来measure the surface energy balance for land-atmosphere research
- 来provide reliable meteorological information for the Austin College and local communities
- 来involve undergraduates in high-quality scientific research
