NATIONAL DATA MONITORING REPORT Hamza Akbelwa, PhD Director, Forecasting Services Hamza.kabelwa@meteo.go.tz met@meteo.go.tz Tanzania Meteorological Agency website: www.meteo.go.tz 2nd Workshop on WIGOS Data Quality Monitoring and Incident Management, 15-17 December, Geneva, Switzerland
CONTENTS Introduction Monitoring Proposed Solution for the national data monitoring Observations
Number of Stations and telecommunications • The number of Tanzania synoptic station are 27 stations. • Dar es Salaam communication center is a national telecommunication network NMCs) which is center of collecting and transmitting of data. • GTS link to Nairobi (RTH) is working. Communication is through internet , AMSS (TRANSMET) and AFTN.
Number of Stations and telecommunications • Monitoring was conducted on 25 synoptic stations; • 15 stations out of the above 25 are operating over the GTS for international data exchange; • Stations performance indicated that 2 stations (Bukoba and Mtwara) scored the highest marked 100% out of 25 GTS stations and (Mbeya) the is the only station marked the lowest (97%) on Synops; • For Metar reports Bukoba station scored the highest 100% while Mbeya station marked the lowest (97%); and • Graphs are presented to indicate the results for both Synops and METAR reports.
Digital Meteorological Observatory (DMO) • DMO • A software for determination of meteorological parameters, report generation, report transmission and archiving • Purpose of DMO • To improve TMA’s weather and climate forecasting by increasing accuracy in observation and monitoring
Purpose of DMO • Create interface for weather data (Input, Execution, Output) • Create interface for data analysis (trend) • Create interface for Climate data (Input, Execution, Analysis, Output) • Create interface for Observation/ observer control • Create interface for Severe weather monitoring and reporting
Observations DMO reduces a big amount of paper used in recording data as part of climate change mitigation DMO can generate BUFR messages category I and automatically transmit to AMSS
