  1. OBSERVATIONAL SET UP P.M. Jayatilaka Banda Department of Meteorology Sri Lanka

  2. Principal Meteorological Stations Agrometeorological Stations Raingauge Stations Meteorological Station Network

  3. The Meteorological Enclosure at the Head Office

  4. Upper Air Observations – Radar/Radiosonde

  5. HRPT Satellite Picture Receiving System for polar orbiting NOAA satellites

  6. Receiving system to acquire Satellite data from Indian INSAT satellite

  7. SADIS - 2G SYSTEM Received through the VCP program of the World Meteorological Organization

  8. NEW DEVELOPMENTS Setting up a network of 35 AWS with a on-line monitoring system by JICA 2007/2008

  9. NEW DEVELOPMENTS • 4 m US$ has been allocated to procure a Doppler Radar by the Sri Lanka Government • Wind profiler is planed to procure during the year 2007 • Up grading of GTS to 64 kbps by US AID

  10. POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTION TO MAHASRI • Synoptic date at selected stations at WMO standard hours • Upper Air observations • Radar wind • Radio Sond Observations • Temperature • Pressure • Humidity

  11. FUTURE NEEDS AND PROPOSALS • Real time rainfall monitoring system • Capacity development in NWP in particular to predict heavy rainfall events • Satellite Imagery receiving system • Early warning dissemination system in vulnerable areas

  12. THANK YOU
