DCP in the Pacific Islands A brief overview of some DCP systems in the Islands. Colin Schulz Dec 2008

Funafuti Atoll, Tuvalu. 3 DCPs on this Island. 2 x GOES-W, 1 x MT-SAT

SATELLITES USED MT-SAT 1R (Western Pacific) GOES WEST (Central and Eastern Pacific)

TYPICAL USERS Meteorological Stations Tide Gauges Hydrological Stations Special Services

Automatic Weather Station The Pacific AWS Guru, Bob Watanabe, at a NOAA AWS in SAMOA

Tide Gauges NOAA Tide Gauge, Funafuti Attol, Tuvalu

Seaframe Tide Gauge, Pohnpei, Micronesia

Typical Uses Regular Synoptic Reports Sea Level Monitoring (10 minute data, transmitted hourly) Monitoring Hurricanes

A really REMOTE site. Pitcairn Island (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) is so remote that access is normally by a 6 monthly boat service. To ensure reliable meteorological data from this remote site it is equipped with TWO fully separate DCP systems

Pitcairn

Looking Ahead DCP(C) could prove very useful DCP under-utilized at present A number of countries looking at DCP for Automatic Weather Stations DCP maintenance problems have been an issue in the past Possibility of a “Pacific” channel allocation?

THANKS... Many thanks to NOAA, NESDIS, JMA and all others who have assisted us in the past
