measurement station
Sites equipped for recording, observing, or measuring local phenomena or information from a particular vantage point.
A measurement station is a place set up for recording, observing, or measuring information, data, or phenomena in the local environment or from a particular vantage point. The information may come from natural or man-made sources.
The station gathers information from its environment or observation position. The subject can be natural or human-made, and collection may be performed by personnel or automated equipment.
A weather station and an air quality measurement station distinguish particular subjects being observed. An office that only receives already collected information does not thereby become the station where it was gathered.
