Pago Pago International Airport in American Samoa Improves Air Safety with AWI
AWOS
Sacramento, CA (January 29, 2010) - All Weather, Inc.
(AWI), a leading manufacturer of weather information systems and meteorological
sensors, has been selected to supply the Pago Pago International Airport with an
Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS). The AWOS, developed by AWI, is an
unmanned system that provides up-to-the-minute weather data to airport personnel
and pilots. The AWOS will play a key role in supplying pilots with critical
weather information for safer flight operations.
With the September 2009 earthquake and resulting tsunami in American Samoa there
is a great need for vital infrastructure repairs and replacement. “The AWI AWOS
will help provide safer air transportation to and from the region allowing for a
quicker recovery and be a contributor to the essential air transport logistics
for the islands,” said Barbara Baca, U.S. AWOS Sales Manger for AWI.
Included in AWI’s AWOS offering are sensors for measuring wind speed and
direction, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and barometric pressure, Pago Pago
will also be outfitted with AWI's Laser Ceilometer and Dual-Technology
Visibility Sensor.
