A massive wall can be seen in the distance, possibly meaning that the station is near the edge of the Halo installation. From this, it can be inferred that weather-controlling pylons such as the ones on the map may line the borders of the installations oceans where they touch the sides of the ring.

Description

Weather spires cas situated near the outermost edges of the Halo ring, accompanied by beam emitters projecting a blue energy beam into the sky.[2] Weather spires are able to control a given installation's weather, surface temperature and pressure - generating conditions near-indistinguishable from those on naturally-occurring planets.[1]

Trivia

A weather station forms the setting for the Halo: Reach multiplayer level Tempest.[3]
