The Unidata AWIPS-II page: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Software -> AWIPS-II https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/ has a nice block diagram (not too detailed) that will give you and idea of the division between the visualization component of AWIPS-II (CAVE) and the data ingest/processing/serving component (EDEX). In the AWIPS-II System Manual 13.4.1 document: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Software -> AWIPS-II http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/ Documentation http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/#doc System_Manual_13.4.1.pdf http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/doc/System_Manual_13.4.1.pdf Exhibit 2.2-1 is a decent diagram of what a typical standalone WFO setup.
