Funny you mention, I did have a similar project on the back burner. The following were all the measurements that were supposed to be sent back in CSV format :

  "station","town","district","lon","lat","elev","temp","dew","humid","mbar","wspeed","wdir","precip","start","end","status"
Lon, lat and elev are longitude, latitude and elevation of course and start, end were UNIX timestamps. I had an idea to have it send data back every 5 minutes to avoid the jet exhaust anomaly problem mentioned in the article. I could safely discard the outliers and store the rest.

Sadly, this never got off the ground as I never had the time to build it.
