WMO/JMA Survey of Calibration of Meteorological Instruments in RA II

(Nakashima, K. 2015): Survey on Meteorological Instruments, Calibration and Training, RegionalAssociation II (Asia), WMO IOM Report No. 122.http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/IMOP/publications-IOM-series.html

The Survey (by Nakashima, K. 2015) revealed thatnot a few Members of RA II;

obviously lack for international traceability of meteorological instruments.

do not perform regular inspection of meteorological instruments.

are still using mercury instruments.

JMA/WMO workshops and international activities of MIC also identified some countries who have:

No calibration equipment

No manual of calibration

No experience of calibration

Calibration of Instruments Needs to be Improved

Urgent need to establish the international traceability of meteorological instruments was emphasized.

RIC Tsukuba Package for Fiji in 2015-2016

Assists Fiji Meteorological Service in its efforts to:

Establish the meteorological instrument traceability in the South Pacific region.

Develop a cooperative framework of calibration with the island countries in the region.

WMO/JICA Training Workshop in Fiji with 20 countries in Oceaniawill be organized in November 2016.

SummaryRIC Tsukuba Package aims to:

a) transfer technology of calibration of meteorological instrument to developing countries.

b) contribute to improvement of the quality of surface observation conducted by developing countries.

c) support the implementation of WIGOS in RA II.

JMA will continue to assist developing countries for improving the calibration of meteorological instruments and the quality of observations.
