  1. MILOS520 VOS AWS Selwyn Alpert Vaisala, Inc. Woburn, MA

  2. OVERVIEW • WMO Objective: • Increase observations over the oceans • Utilize buoys, floats, and ships • VOS - Voluntary Observing Ships • Synoptic data (real-time communication) for improved forecasting • VOSClim - Voluntary observing ship data for improved climatalogical data base (no need for real time) • MILOS520 VOS AWS - New Vaisala AWS configuration for VOS applications

  3. MILOS AWS • AWS based on Milos Series of AWS - • over 2000 built from mid-70’s to • present (M200, M500, M520) • First Ship applications during 80’s • Total Installed base over 85 systems • Cruise Ships • Research Ships • Military Ships • Fishing ships • ASAP containers • VOS AWS

  4. MILOS520 VOS AWS • Based on MILOS520 AWS - • Designed for harsh • environments • Temperature range • -50 ...+70 oC • Vibration resistant • up to 2G • Modular Hardware • Modular/Flexible Software

  5. MILOS520 VOS AWS • Designed • for VOS and VOSClim Use - • True Wind • FM13 reporting • IMMT-2 data storing • Easy install/remove

  6. MILOS520 VOS AWS • Easy Installation • Four meter mast as default • Tiltable • No guy wires needed • Non Corrosive material • Sea aluminum • Anodized and painted • Only fixing bolts needed

  7. MILOS520 VOS AWS • Easy Installation • Cable connectors for all • standard sensors • Wind • Temperature / Humidity • Water temperature • Serial lines • Gyro compass • GPS / Inmarsat • PC - Terminal

  10. MILOS520 VOS AWS Synop Editing Measured data updated automatically Also possible to edit Manual data entries Without manual data entry auto Synop is generated

  11. MILOS520 VOS AWS Synop Editing & Real-time Display

  12. MILOS520 VOS AWS • HighData Quality • High quality sensors • Measurement validation • Min / Max check • Step limit check • Calculation validation • 80 % of data requirement • Validation for manual inputs

  13. MILOS520 VOS AWS • Communication • Inmarsat C as default • Goes, GTS and Meteosat • Argos / SCD • Others

  14. Inmarsat C Communication • Inmarsat C data reporting mode: Australia VOS • In co-operation with the Australian Met Bureau • The message reported is a binary subset of the full ship message. • The data is sent via Inmarsat C using the data reporting mode, which reduces the running costs. The data is sent to the Bureau via the Perth Land Earth Station. • The data is decoded within the Bureau and is then placed on the GTS as a full Ship message. • BBXX VLST 24174 99383 31448 46/// /0124 10118 20094 30202 40233 52008 22224 85105 • BBXX VLST 24184 99381 31449 46/// /0123 10117 20088 30203 40234 52010 22284 85101

  15. MILOS520 VOS AWS • Scalability • Can be extended with • Cloud Height Sensor • Visibility Sensor • Present Weather Sensor • Solar Radiation Sensors • Precipitation sensors

  16. MILOS520 VOS AWS YourVIEW optional real-time View

  17. MILOS520 VOS AWS • Future options: • CO2 measurement • Infrared sea surface temperature measurement

  18. MILOS520 VOS AWS - CONCLUSIONS • Based on proven Milos Series AWS and Vaisala extensive • experience with Ship AWS Applications • Modular hardware and software for high flexibility • FM13 (synoptic) and IMM-2 (climatological) reporting • Easy Installation - AWS and sensors on 4m tiltable mast • (except for water temperature sensor) • Varied telemetry options • Expanded sensor monitoring capability for additional and future • sensors
