  1. National Weather Service’s Pacific Region By: Jeff LaDouce Director, Pacific Region March 2012

  2. Pacific Region’s Data Services Programs and Systems • Tsunami Warnings • RSOIS • Automated Observing Systems • Site relocations • Site refurbishments • New systems and enhancements

  3. Tsunami Warnings • Conservative System • Lack of data • Lack of modeling • Tsunami training provided in annual TC/Climate training • Help is on the way – with time

  4. RSOIS • RSOIS equipment has been successfully deployed at the Palau and Yap (last year) airports and is displayed at AFIS Offices. • The RSOIS at Yap provides data to both the WSO and the AFIS. • Plans are for this design to be implemented at Chuuk. • RSOIS has proven beneficial for AFIS/SAWRS operations collocated with a WSO at the airport.

  5. OBSERVING • Fully automated surface observing systems are desired at Micronesian airports. • AFIS personnel working with Airport Authorities, WSOs and Airline Partners to: • Ensure quality Observations • Proper quality control of observations • Management of aviation program

  6. WSOs • All WSOs will eventually be located at their respective airports with the exception of WSO Pohnpei and WSO Majuro. • WSO Palau’s relocation to the airport is TBD. • Weather observing functions conducted by Palau AFIS personnel will be assumed by the respective WSO staff. • Majuro AFIS function will likely remain in place due to the distance of the WSO observing point. • WSO refurbishment began last year with WSO Pohnpei (Near completion)

  7. RRS • Deployed at all WSOs and at WFO Guam • High temporal data • GPS Sensors • Deployed on all WSO buildings • High temporal output of vertical atmospheric moisture • AWOS III-P • American Samoa New and updated systems to support atmospheric models and field products Source: http://global.kyocera.com/news/2011/1204_kazn.html
