  11. Canadian VOSClim Status • 14 Canadian AVOS ships registered in program • Approximately 22 more AVOS ships to be registered 2006 • 75 Canadian AVOS systems planned to be registered Note - Recruitment Strategy for Canadian AVOS ship selection based on the following: • Data sparse North • Trans-Pacific • Trans-Atlantic • % of year at sea

  12. AVOS Concerns • SST - Difficult installations – exploring wireless transmission • Ambient Temperature & Relative Humidity – entirely due to location, ship exhaust causes sensor fouling and increased temperature • Communications • INMARSAT in the north – MSC exploring replacing INMARSAT with IRIDIUM • Pressure reporting discontinued at the moment on Mackensie River • Eprom upgrade • Delete country code as required by service provider • Incorporate IMMT3 format and MQCSV January 2007 • Stealth Mode – latest ver. S/W – option for “no transmit”. When triggered system continues to collect and store observations and PMO must retrieve data on next possible visit. CCG has requested that : • critical ships be excluded from MSC AVOS ship list • Stealth mode be available on all CCG vessels • Call sign be hidden on all CCG vessels • Data be delayed 24 hours to the public • Standards – Marine TWG, PMO training, certification, workload • WBS Internal site – must be acceptable to the green lane

  13. Other PMO Responsibilities • Moored Buoys status • 16 Pacific coast buoys – NOMAD & 3Meter • 10 Atlantic coast buoys –NOMAD & 3Meter • 18 Inland waters – Watchkeeper & 3Meter • Drifter Buoys Status • 29 operational Pacific Ocean, 22 deployments in last 12 months • 3 operational Atlantic Ocean, 2 deployed in last 12 months • 8 barometer upgrades installed on US SVP’s • 8 barometer upgrades planned for 2006 • 12 Planned deployments for 2006 including 4 with winds • Ice Beacons – 3 operational and 7 planned deployments • Land sites – T&P, Public WX, Climate, Radar, Aviation
