In summary this Competition relates to the purchase of sixteen (16) Sensors to meet Aviation Modernisation and Automation Project (AMAP) requirements, with the optional purchase (at Met Éireann's sole discretion) of an additional six (6) Sensors to meet synoptic AWS requirements.
Visibility and present weather observations are required at each airport site for both aviation and synoptic requirements.
Met Éireann has developed an Automatic Weather Station (‘AWS’) system featuring a visibility sensor / PWS as an integrated component. The AWS polls the data message from the visibility sensor / PWS periodically for ingestion into a visibility / present weather data table. The sensor data is encoded centrally for inclusion into synoptic code (‘SYNOP’)
As part of this Competition, Tenders may be submitted for either:
— Independent visibility sensors, with accompanying independent present weather sensors; or
— Integrated systems comprising both sensors.
