About this file
This attachment documents the sensor locations for a High Wind Alert System (HWAS), providing geographic coordinates and descriptive locations for twelve monitoring stations deployed across a military installation. The sensors are positioned at strategic locations including high school roofs (Lewis Palmer, Pine Creek, Air Academy), military facilities (Vandenberg Hall, Falcon Stadium, Cadet Area), communication infrastructure (Rampart Range utility tower), and airfield operations areas (runway 26 FMQ-19 wind sensor, 98 FTS Ground Training Facility). Each location includes both degree-minute-second and decimal degree coordinate formats for precise geographic identification. The sensor network covers a geographic area spanning approximately one degree of latitude and longitude, with the northernmost station at Lewis Palmer High School (39.080000° / -104.854444°) and the southernmost at South Ridge (38.956944° / -104.847500°). The document provides both tabular data listing all twelve locations with their coordinates and a georeferenced aerial map image showing the spatial distribution of all HWAS sensors across the installation, with the map last updated on April 28, 2025.
