  1. Plan and status of WIGOS Implementation MYANMAR RA II WIGOS Workshop 6-8 November 2018, Beijing, China

  2. Outline Introduction to the country Organization of DMH Status 1 Status 2 Status 3 Status 4 Current issue Plan 1 Plan 2 Conclusion

  3. MYANMAR Population 54,013,647 (Oct 30,2018) Total land area 653,290 km2 36.8% of the population is urban Coastline 1,930 km (1200 mi) Longest river Ayeryarwady Largest lake Indawgyi lake Dry March to April Rainy June to October Winter November to February China Bangladesh Thailand Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a Southeast Asian nation of more than 100 ethnic groups, bordering India, Bangladesh, China, Laos and Thailand. Yangon (formerly Rangoon), the country's largest city, is home to bustling markets, numerous parks and lakes, and the towering, gilded Shwedagon Pagoda, which contains Buddhist relics and dates to the 6th century.

  4. Total staff of DMH 848

  5. Status 1 Project name: The Project for Establishment of Disastrous Weather Monitoring System Period/ budget : 2013- 2018 / 3,842,000,000 Japanese Yen Donated by : JICA Three radar in remote site , radar receiving system in head office and 30 of Automatic weather system

  6. Radar network VSAT Mandalay Kyaukphyu Kyaukphyu Yangon Composite

  7. Improved accuracy of weather observation data from instrument and radars record/reports of maintenance (surface observation) Daily/weekly/monthly/annual reports on radar Daily and monthly physical check Clean AWS tower base Cut grass around tower Check for damage on tower Clean solar panel Check for ants and other pests Check data logger screen Clean outside and inside enclosure 30 AWS stations

  8. Status 2 Project name : International Development Association (IDA) Immediate Response Mechanism (IRM) MYANMAR and the United Nations office for project Services(UNOPS) Period : 2017 Automatic weather observation system 90 Flood Early Warning System 10 Web Forecaster tool : COROBOR systems Keep Metadata AWS (Met and Hydro) stations and ASOS 20 stations

  9. Status 3 Project name : Modernization of Forecasting and Warning System for Natural Disaster in MYANMAR Donated by : Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) and Korea Meteorological Industry Promotion Agency(KMIPA) Duration/budget : 2017-2019 / 4 million US Dollars Automatic Synoptic Observation System (ASOS) - 20 already installed 20 on going to install Total - 40 ASOS station Display of ASOS 20 stations

  10. Status 4 Three of tide observation stations Sittwe moulmein Hainggyikyun Currently Hydro observation stations 74

  12. Currently issues -No database ( we keep data with portable Hard drive currently) -No data quality monitoring system -No upper air observation -No calibration lab -No lighting detection -Different projects, different systems ,others( to be integrated system)

  13. PLAN 1 is on going Hydromet Observation and Information Systems Modernization of the project “ Ayeyarwady Integrated River Basin Management Project” (AIRBM) Automatic weather Stations Meteorological observation station 39 Hydro observation station 17 Agro meteorological observation station 1 supplementary 1 Calibration Lab 1 (Yangon) Upper air 2 ( Yangon and Mandalay) Server room 1 (Head office in Nay Pyi Taw) Data center 1 (Head office in Nay Pyi Taw)

  14. Integrated end-to-end observation and production system JICA KOREA CHINA IRM RIMES others AWS RADAR Satellite GTS

  15. From an old –fashioned manual observation network to a modern and automated monitoring system Manual stations 155 Automatic stations around 250 Manual observation should be automated by 2020.

  16. PLAN 2 Project name :The Project for Enhancing Capacity of Weather Observation and Forecasting in MYANMAR Period : 2019- 2020 Donated by: JICA -To develop operation and maintenance guidelines of three meteorological radars for obtaining reliable data -To identify issues in operation and maintenance of automatic weather observation and surface observation systems at the pilot stations -To develop manuals of regular inspection, calibration and maintenance of weather observation equipment -To establish traceability method of observation equipment and to develop manuals -To conduct tracing on radar data analysis -To conduct training on method to obtain reliable meteorological radar data using automatic weather observation data and other weather data. -To improve QPE information continuously -To conduct training on utilization of new HimawariCast for weather forecasting -To introduce weather guidance system

  17. Conclusion • - Manual observation should be automated by 2020. • Total AWS station over 200 • database • data quality monitoring system • upper air observation • calibration lab • lighting detection network • All different system will be integrated system • - Maintenance fee Future issue
