(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Vaisala Corporation Press Release
October 1, 2014
Australia's Bureau of Meteorology has signed a contract with Vaisala for the
delivery of Vaisala Present Weather Sensors at a value of MEUR 3.2. The new
contract is for 3 years with an option for extension by two years until the end
of June 2019. The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia's national weather, climate
and water agency.
Increased Efficiency with World-Class, Proven Technology
The Vaisala's Present Weather Sensor FS11P will be used in Australia and
Antarctica to automate their observations as effectively and efficiently as
possible, to satisfy aviation services and industry. The FS11P provides
automated observations, giving the customer flexibility in managing their
stations. With visibility measurements up to 75 km, the sensor is used to detect
precipitation type and intensity and is well suited for synoptical and
aeronautical applications. According to Robert Ireland, Vaisala Regional Sales
Manager, "This contract continues the long history of the Bureau successfully
using Vaisala optical sensors for observation across a wide range of climatic
conditions. Most importantly it reflects the high quality of Vaisala observation
equipment and the real value of such an investment."
Vaisala's FS11P is our runway visual range sensor, meeting both FAA and ICAO
specifications for runway visibility measurement. With minimal maintenance
requirements the system utilizes the world's most widely proven sensing
technology.
Commitment to Our Long-Term Customer
Vaisala has been working with the Bureau since the early 1980's and continues to
work as a supplier of meteorological equipment and services for the organization
across Australia and in Antarctica, with deliveries including autosondes,
sounding systems, lightning sensors, barometers and ceilometers.
The new FS11P delivery will begin in October 2014. In addition, Vaisala will be
providing a training course for Bureau staff later this year to support
capabilities in installing and maintaining the sensors in the field.
