Weather Radar Workshop 2023
Basics
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) will hold the Weather Radar Workshop in Tokyo, Japan,
from 11 to 13 October 2023, as an activity of
the Regional WIGOS project "Capacity Building in Radar Techniques" in Region II and Region V
and also of item 3 "Development of regional radar network" of the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) 2023
of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee Working Group on Meteorology (WGM).
It’s important for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) to
share knowledge and experiences and discuss their challenges so that they can make full use
of weather radars. In the current WIGOS project period until 2024, JMA holds a series of
radar workshops and the theme of the forthcoming event is “Operations, Maintenance and
Application”. It follows
the previous workshop
held in January - February 2023 focusing
on network design, planning, procurement, installation and implementation of weather radar.
The JMA plans to hold a series of radar workshops during the current WIGOS
project period through 2024. Each workshop will have a specific theme, ultimately, all the
challenges regarding radar observation will be addressed comprehensively.
