All Weather, Inc. Introduces New Runway Visual Range (RVR)
System; Dual
Technology Sensor Replaces Transmissometers and Meets All ICAO Requirements EDITORS: High resolution images are available for download at http://www.allweatherinc.com/news/press/060506_01.html Sacramento, CA (June 5, 2006) -- All Weather, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high accuracy, high dependability weather information systems and meteorological sensors, today announced the latest version of their Runway Visual Range (RVR) System. The RVR System features AWI's high accuracy 8364-E Dual Technology Visibility Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor, and Runway Light Intensity Interface. Together, these produce an RVR system that combines the precision and accuracy of a transmissometer with the reliability and affordability of a forward scatter visibility sensor. For airports around the world, this means quick access to accurate measurements in any and all weather conditions. The new RVR System is designed to operate in either a stand-alone configuration or as part of a full AWOS System for all airport categories, from CAT I to CAT IIIB. In addition, it meets all of the recommendations of the ICAO for RVR measurements. Dual Technology Visibility Sensor AWI's RVR System is based on the 8364-E Dual Technology Visibility Sensor. The 8364-E uses both direct attenuation and forward scatter technologies. This enables the sensor to accurately measure airborne particle sizes and types, once possible only with a traditional transmissometer, while at the same time provide the reliability and affordability of a forward scatter visibility sensor. Unlike standard, forward scatter visibility sensors, the Dual Technology Visibility Sensor is able to measure degradation of visibility due to smoke, dust, and blowing sand. The sensor also overcomes a major problem faced by all transmissometers, poor MOR (Meteorological Optical Range) measurements. "The new RVR System allows airports of any size to have access to the latest weather measurement technology without the exorbitant costs associated with transmissometers," stated Gary Wagner, President of All Weather, Inc. "AWI's continuous research and development have produced significant leaps forward in the area of airport safety, providing airports with the most accurate and reliable RVR and MOR measurements available today." Flexible Reporting The AWI RVR System is available as a stand-alone system with its own Central Data Processor and data distribution system, operating under Windows XP or Linux. METARs (Aviation Routine Weather Reports) & SPECIE's (Aviation Selected Special Weather Reports) can be automatically generated by the system or output to a central computer for code generation. Customized display options are available for ATC or Meteorological office use. The RVR can also be integrated into a full Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) where the RVR and MOR Data are combined with other sensor data to provide full METAR / SPECI / METREPORTs and other code formats. A white paper on the Dual Technology Visibility Sensor is available for download at http://www.allweatherinc.com/reference/fsvs.html . Availability RVR systems are available for delivery in 90 - 120 days ARO. Prices vary, depending on configuration details. Contact AWI for details. About All Weather Inc. All Weather, Inc.

PWS Development from Campbell Scientific Ltd. The PWS100 Present Weather Sensor is a new laser based sensor capable of determining precipitation and visibility parameters for automatic weather stations including road, marine and airport stations. Due to its advanced measurement technique and fuzzy logic algorithms the PWS100 can determine precipitation type for each individual particle in real-time from accurate size and velocity measurements and the structure of the received signal. Auxiliary measurements of temperature and relative humidity can provide improved particle classification. The system improves upon current precipitation monitors by using a derivative of Phase Doppler Anemometry techniques to accurately determine particle speed and size. This is unlike other sensors available which only analyse pulses from scattered light (scatter meters) or the reduction in light intensity (disdrometers) and infer a size and velocity for the particles. The instrument is also capable of distinguishing between liquid droplets and solid polycrystalline hydrometeors from analysis of the signal and can be used to estimate visibility comparable to other forward scatter instruments. The system can output visibility and precipitation related weather codes such as those detailed in the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) SYNOP code, METAR code and those used by the US National Weather Service (NWS). Further details of precipitation can be given in terms of drop size distributions (DSD) to give better indications of precipitation intensity. Drop size and velocity distributions can be used in the analysis of soil erosion, flood prediction or as a calibration for radar instruments in meteorological studies. The PWS100 comprises a DSP housing unit connected to a sensor arm, comprising one laser head and two sensor heads. Each of the sensor heads is 20° off axis to the laser unit axis, one in the horizontal plane, the other in the vertical plane. Light sheets from the laser head define the volume through which precipitation falls. The signal obtained contains a frequency component related to the vertical velocity of the particle. Correlating signals between detectors and analyzing signal morphology allows for the estimation of particle size for both liquid and solid hydrometeors. From the data obtained, further statistical analysis of precipitation events can be carried out giving precipitation intensities and accumulations. This is a brand new sensor and pre-production models are currently being trialed. The release date is expected to be within a few months. Any customer showing interest will be kept informed and indeed we would welcome expressions of interest at this stage.

New Vaisala Gauge Meets Demands for Accurate Measurement of All Precipitation Types Vaisala is proud to introduce
the latest innovation for measuring all types of precipitation: The Vaisala All Weather Precipitation Gauge VRG101.
The Vaisala All Weather Precipitation Gauge VRG101 is designed to meet the challenges of measuring a broad range of precipitation, from rain and snow to hail, sleet and freezing rain. The innovative design enables the new device to measure liquid and solid precipitation accurately and in the most severe weather conditions. The measurement principle is based on the latest high-accuracy, temperature-compensated load cell
technology. A funnel element on top of the container ensures that even the lightest rain and snowfall are detected and measured. The state-of-the-art
design allows for easy maintenance access and accommodates the adding of antifreeze agents and removal of the collector container. Data loss, sometimes a
problem with precipitation gauges that need to be taken to the laboratory for calibration, has been eliminated in the new VRG101, which is equipped with a
field-removable electronics unit that renders laboratory visits obsolete. In addition, the strong and simple design extends service intervals and lowers
life-cycle costs. |
