Abstract

The Regional Meteorological Service for the Emilia-Romagna Region manages a network of automatic weather stations equipped with electronic sensors suitable for measuring meteorological parameters. The automatic stations consist of electronic instruments, which are subject to failures at more or less frequent intervals. A summary of their performance is necessary. In this paper, we compare the results of the summary, such as the contiguous absence or simultaneous inactivity of different stations, with theoretical simulations in order to evaluate the nature and recurrence of the failures. A single- and multi-server queue simulation model was also used to evaluate the performance of the data transmission system, so as to optimize the communications system.
