# Connect

If you have the weather station addon for NOVA, you may add weather stations directly into NOVA and view them individually or from within missions.

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, only **Tempest** weather stations can be added by the user.

For other weather station types and aviation-grade solutions, contact <support@unisphere.io>
{% endhint %}

## How to Connect a Tempest Weather Station

{% hint style="info" %}
Before adding the weather station, make sure you have your **Tempest access token**, which is needed to access the weather station.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to the **Assets** page in NOVA.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the `+ New Asset` button in the top right corner.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
From the menu, select `New Weather Station`

{% hint style="info" %}
If `New weather station` is not visible in your asset creation dialog, you are missing the weather stations addon. Contact <support@unisphere.io> to activate it.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the `New Weather Station` dialog:

* Select `New Tempest ONE Weather Station`.
* Enter your Tempest access token.
* NOVA will retrieve a list of weather stations linked to your Tempest account.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
From the **weather stations list**:

* Select the weather stations you want to integrate into NOVA.
* Optionally, provide:
  * A custom station name.
  * Latitude and longitude coordinates (for accurate map display and mission association).
  * A station-specific mission radius.

Missions you create in the future will pre-select weather stations if the mission is within the *station-specific radius*. You may override this in the mission wizard.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
