In meteorology, several types of stations are officially defined, including first-order station; first-order climatological station; second-order station; second-order climatological station; third-order climatological station; climatological substation; ocean weather station.
- In oceanography, the geographic location at which any set of oceanographic observations was taken; also, the observations recorded at the location.
The appropriate verbal phrase is "occupy a station."
