Festival City Airport in Vietnam Uses All Weather, Inc.'s Automated Weather
Observation System (AWOS) to Meet Trade & Tourism Demands
Airport expansion combines high reliability meteorological sensors
with state-of-the-art communications technologies for world-class aviation
services
Sacramento, CA (October 24, 2005) All Weather, Inc., a leading
manufacturer of high accuracy, high dependability weather information systems
and meteorological sensors, today announced that Phu Bai Airport in
Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam, is upgrading local aviation facilities with
a Series 900 Automated Weather
Observation System (AWOS) from AWI. The system is part of a larger plan
to expand the airport to handle a significant increase in tourism and trade
traffic for the nearby festival city of Hue, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
and major tourist destination in Vietnam.
The AWI Series 900 AWOS
for Phu Bai Airport features dual Wind Observer II wind sensors whose
patented ultrasonic technology provides continuous operation in extreme weather
conditions. High accuracy Laser
Ceilometers simultaneously detect and measure cloud height to 25,000 feet;
up to four layers of clouds, including the thickness of individual layers
can be measured.
The Phu Bai Airport AWOS
also includes dual forward-scatter Runway
Visual Range (RVR) systems. A patented architecture with four visibility
sensor heads ensures accurate measurements are made independent of the effects
of the environment. Unlike traditional two head visibility sensors that only
measure fog, snow, and rain, the AWI forward
scatter visibility sensors can measure fog, snow, rain, haze, smoke, dust,
and sand.
The AWOS also provides
Phu Bai Airport with me asurements and reports on relative humidity, temperature,
precipitation, altimeter setting, density altitude, and present weather-all
essential data for the safe and reliable operation of the airfield.
Installation of the AWOS
system for Phu Bai Airport is under the direction of Datacific, a Montreal-based
firm supplying environmental equipment to the Vietnamese markets.
AWI's AWOS system meets
the stringent standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
CAT III, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO),
the FAA, and Transport Canada.
All systems measure and report essential weather information and include full
Remote Maintenance Monitoring capabilities to ensure continuous monitoring.
