Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) from All Weather, Inc. Installed to Support Crude Oil Production Operations in Chad, Africa

High reliability meteorological sensors and state-of-the-art communications technologies prove ideal for isolated locations

Sacramento, CA (February 22, 2005) — All Weather, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high accuracy, high dependability weather information systems and meteorological sensors, today announced that it has installed a Series 900 Automated Weather Observation Systems (AWOS) to support Esso Exploration and Production Chad Inc. (E.E.P.C.I.), operator of a consortium comprising E.E.P.C.I., Petronas Carigali (Chad EP) Inc., and Chevron Petroleum Chad Company Limited crude oil production operations in Chad, Africa. The AWOS system is located at the remote airstrip in Kome, Chad. The system measures and reports wind speed, wind direction, wind gusts, temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, visibility, altimeter setting, density altitude, cloud height, and sky condition-all essential data for the safe and economic operation of the airfields.

Designed to meet the stringent requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Series 900 AWOS delivers up-to-the-minute weather information to logistics personnel. The system also provides full Remote Maintenance Monitoring (RMM) capabilities, allowing access to the AWOS from a remote site via telephone.

AWOS: Automated Weather Observation System
All Weather's Series 900 AWOS is based on state-of-the-art sensor technology and a powerful, microprocessor-based computer system that collects and processes large amounts of environmental data. Whether the concerns are precipitation, wind gusts, temperature, present weather, or lightning, the end result is a cost-effective system that provides the power and versatility needed to stay on top of rapidly changing weather. The AWOS is expandable, easy to install, and easy to maintain.

The Series 900 AWOS features All Weather's 8364-E Dual Technology Visibility Sensor, a patented four-head design that ensures accurate measurements independent of the effects of the environment. The 8364-E combines the transmissiometer's ability to measure direct transmissions in harsh conditions and the forward scatter sensor's ability to measure varying density and scatter functions. Unlike traditional two head visibility sensors, the AWI 8364-E can measure fog, snow, rain, haze, smoke, dust, and sand.
