requirements to meet the work plan. The goal is to then create a guidance document for
implementation of weather for TBO.
Surface Weather System (SWS)
The SWS has started limited deployment due to an earthquake that happened in
Japan and temporarily shut down the factory that is making the glass for the new
displays. In the meantime, the older SAWS displays are being used. The display comes
in an 8 - inch and 10 - inch version. T his system will re place old F420 and Wind Measuring
equipment with state of the art ultrasonic wind sensors. In facilities that have WME , there
is no change in display. The system will be replacing all the old wind birds so even ITWS
sites will be getting a new sensor.
