Abstract：In order to understand better the effects of the monsoon on the marine envi‐ronment and ecosystem changes in the Southern South China Sea ,a lightweight and cor‐rosion‐resistant coastal automatic weather station system was designed and built at the Bachok Ocean Station in Malaysia .This system can automatically collect seven key me‐teorological parameters such as air temperature ,air pressure ,wind speed and direction , relative humidity ,rainfall and solar short‐and long‐wave radiations .All these data can be stored in the CF card and actively uploaded to the host computer through the serial port ,and then through a service program the host computer can display in real‐time the meteorological parameters and upload the data to the cloud server for users to dow n‐load .The system uses laboratory calibration and least‐squares refinement to ensure the data quality .It has been show n from almost a year of continuous testing that the per‐formance of the system is stable .In May 2016 ,this system was incorporated into the regional station for global meteorological observation .
