GLOSSARY OF WEATHER TERMS:               

Provided by our "Wx-Course" Pro.  Online product #0017.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between rain, showers and drizzle?

Many people believe that meteorologists use these terms indiscriminately, assuming that if it "rains" or if there is a "chance of showers," it's time to get out the umbrella.

In fact, these terms have their own specific meanings.

A better understanding of weather terminology will help with planning outdoor activities throughout the year.

To that end, a glossary of all the weather terms used in the current conditions and forecasts has been prepared, so that you can get the most out of your forecasts and then some.

"On-site" weather for film and tv commercials  ...  WXCENTER @ aol.com !!

"ON-SITE" WEATHER FOR FILM / TV COMMERCIALS:

WEATHER IS THE MOST TALKED ABOUT TOPIC IN THE WORLD, WHETHER YOU'RE COMMENTING ON GOOD WEATHER OR BAD WEATHER.  THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT GOOD WEATHER DOESN'T CAUSE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP, BUT BAD WEATHER CAN RUIN A NORMALLY SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION OR BUSINESS.

EVERY FILM PROJECT, TV COMMERCIAL EVENT IS AT THE MERCY OF THE "WEATHER," WITH INSUFFICIENT OR EXCESSIVE WEATHER PERILS SUCH AS:  RAINFALL, SNOWFALL, WIND, TEMPERATURE, LIGHTNING, FOG, CLOUD COVER, SUNSHINE, AND ICY ROADS CONDITIONS.

THE "WEATHER" IS USUALLY THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL.

THE RAIN IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT TEMPERATURE, WIND, LIGHTNING, FOG, CEILING HEIGHT, AND VISIBILITY CAN ALSO PRESENT PROBLEMS.

FOR INDOOR, SNOW IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM, BUT TEMPERATURE, WIND, OR ICY ROAD CONDITIONS CAN ALSO PRESENT PROBLEMS. 

THESE "WEATHER PROBLEMS" WILL AFFECT THE POCKETS OF ALL THE PRODUCERS AND PRODUCTION COMPANIES.

OUR HUMAN WEATHER OBSERVERS CAN FULLY DOCUMENT THE EXACT WEATHER CONDITIONS, AS IT HAPPENS AND NO ONE CAN QUESTION IT BECAUSE THE "OBSERVER" IS CONSIDERED THE "OFFICIAL" WEATHER !!

ALL WEATHER OBSERVERS ARE EXTREMELY TRAINED AND FAMILIAR WITH ALL CONCERNS AND WILL VERIFY ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AS IT EXISTS "ON-THE-SET" !!

COMMON CONCERNS FOR FILMING ARE:  EXCESS RAIN, EXCESS SNOW, WIND, FOG, UNDERWATER VISIBILITY, REASONABLE PHOTOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS (RPC), LIMITED FILMING CONDITIONS (LFC), SUNSHINE, AND LACK OF SNOW.

THESE DESCRIPTIONS, BELOW, ARE ONLY PRESENTED AS A SIMPLE GUIDE, SINCE MANY VARIABLES SUCH AS TERRAIN, DRAINAGE AND INTENSITY CAN ALTER THE DESCRIPTIONS  ----

Rent your "Rain Gauge & Rain Data Event Logger" from aviationweatherinc.com !!

"RAIN GAUGE WITH RAIN DATA EVENT LOGGER" INCLUDED:

"RAIN GAUGE WITH RAIN DATA EVENT LOGGER" RENTALS !

ALL RAIN GAUGE RENTALS INCLUDE 'RAIN DATA LOGGER' ATTACHMENT.

READING THE WEATHER  ...  FOR THE FILM & TV COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY.  RECORD MEASUREMENTS WITH DETAILED RAINFALL HISTORY.  PERFECT FOR 'OUTDOOR SHOOTS' WHICH ARE INSURED BY WEATHER INSURANCE PROVIDER.

MEASURING PRECIPITATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.  PRECIPITATION IS OUR SPECIALTY.   SO, RENT YOUR "RAIN GAUGE WITH ATTACHED RAIN DATA LOGGER" FROM US TODAY !!     

AVAILABLE METHODS OF RAIN COLLECTION INCLUDE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MANUAL RAIN COLLECTORS TO HIGH ACCURACY TIPPING-BUCKET RAIN GAUGES.   ALSO INCLUDED ARE SEVERAL METHODS OF RETRIEVING AND VIEWING GATHERED MEASUREMENTS FOR YOUR COMPANY.

ALL  (RENTAL)  GAUGES ARE DESIGNED TO STRICT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE (NWS) CRITERIA AND WEATHER INSURANCE POLICY STANDARDS. 

RAIN GAUGES ARE OF SEVERAL TYPES AND MEASURE NOT ONLY THE RAIN BUT ALL OTHER FORMS OF PRECIPITATION.  TIPPING BUCKET GAUGES HAVE A DIVIDED BUCKET BALANCED SO THAT ONE SIDE FILLS, THEN TIPS ITS WATER INTO A CONTAINER AND ALLOWS THE OTHER SIDE TO FILL.  AS THE BUCKET TIPS, IT SENDS AN ELECTRIC SIGNAL TO A RECORDING UNIT INSIDE THE WEATHER STATION.  

IT IS BEST TO HIRE A SPECIALIZED SURFACE WEATHER TECHNICIAN SUCH AS A CERTIFIED WEATHER OBSERVER OR METEOROLOGICAL TECHNICIAN   (TO MEASURE THE WATER, WHICH RUNS INTO THE CONTAINER)   AS A CHECK ON THE RECORDING'S ACCURACY.   THINGS DO HAPPEN FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER.  BESIDES 'WEATHER' IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS, AS YOU KNOW.

ANOTHER TYPE OF RECORDING RAIN GAUGE CONTINUOUSLY WEIGHS THE WATER AND RECORDS THE WEIGHT DIRECTLY ON A GRAPH AS INCHES OF RAINFALL.  "ONE INCH OF RAINFALL"  IS A WAY OF SAYING THAT ON LEVEL GROUND  -- A LAYER OF RAIN ONE INCH DEEP -- WOULD REMAIN IF NONE OF THE WATER RAN OFF OR SEEPED INTO THE GROUND.

OUR TIPPING BUCKET RAIN GAUGE, MODEL 260-2501  (RENTAL)   RAIN GAUGE., IS QUITE POPULAR AMONG BOTH EAST-COAST AND WEST-COAST PRODUCTION COMPANIES.   IT IS CONSTRUCTED OF ALUMINUM AND THE SURFACE IS POWDER COATED GLOSS WHITE.  A VARIETY OF CALIBRATION INTERVALS ARE OFFERED TO YOU, AND ITS SIMPLICITY OF DESIGN ASSURES TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION, YET PROVIDES THE MOST ACCURATE, SO FAR TO DATE, OF ALL RAINFALL MEASUREMENTS.   

THE TIPPING BUCKET MECHANISM FOR MODEL 260-2501 ACTIVATES A SEALED REED SWITCH THAT PRODUCES A CONTACT CLOSURE FOR EACH 0.01", 0.25 MM OR 1 MM OF RAINFALL.

THE GAUGE HAS AN 8" ORIFICE AND IS MANUFACTURED OF POWDER COATED AND ANODIZED ALUMINUM.  THE FUNNEL HAS A SCREEN TO PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE GAUGE.

IT IS SHIPPED AS SHOWN BELOW (LEFT) COMPLETE WITH MOUNTING BRACKETS.

CONTRACT SURFACE WX OBSERVATIONS:

HERE IN THIS SECTION, WE PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT IS USEFUL TO ANYONE WHO HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT WEATHER OBSERVATIONS, HOW THEY ARE CONDUCTED, WHY WE NEED THEM AND HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED.

WEATHER OBSERVATIONS ARE TAKEN AT LEAST ONCE AN HOUR AT ALMOST EVERY AIRPORT THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING HAWAII AND ALASKA.  WEATHER OBSERVATIONS CONSIST OF DATA THAT FOLLOWS STRICT GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE (NWS).  

THIS DATA INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO WIND-SPEED, CLOUD-HEIGHT, CLOUD-COVER, TEMPERATURE, AMOUNT OF RAINFALL IN THE LAST HOUR, AND ALSO SIGNIFICANT REMARKS THAT MAY INCLUDE LIGHTNING, THUNDERSTORMS, AND TORNADIC ACTIVITY.  AFTER AN OBSERVATION IS TAKEN IT IS SENT TO A CENTRAL NETWORK WHERE IT IS DISPERSED NATIONWIDE.   THESE OBSERVATIONS CAN BE SEEN BY ANYONE IN THE AVIATION COMMUNITY AND ARE HEAVILY RELIED UPON BY FORECASTERS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS, AND EVEN LOCAL TELEVISION PERSONALITIES.

BECAUSE THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION'S (FAA) NUMBER ONE CONCERN IS SAFETY, THEY INTENSELY UTILIZE THE NETWORK OF OBSERVATIONS TO GET AN AIRCRAFT FROM IT'S ORIGIN TO IT'S DESTINATION, SAFELY. 

A GOOD WAY OF DOING THIS IS TO READ THE OBSERVATION(S) THAT ARE IN DIRECT LINE OF THE FLIGHT PATH.  IF THE ORIGIN AND DESTINATION AIRPORTS ARE REPORTING FAIR SKIES (CLEAR), BUT AN AIRPORT ALONG THE WAY IS REPORTING A SUPER CELL THUNDERSTORM -- THE FAA CAN USE THIS INFORMATION AND GUIDE THE PILOT SAFELY AROUND THE THUNDERSTORM.

THE FAA AND NWS ARE THE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES THAT BID OUT THE WEATHER OBSERVATION CONTRACTS.  BASICALLY WHEN A CONTRACT SOLICITATION IS SENT TO A COMPANY, THE FAA / NWS IS LOOKING TO STAFF THAT PARTICULAR WEATHER OBSERVATION SITE.  WHAT A COMPANY DOES IS CALCULATE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST FOR THEM TO OFFER SUCH SERVICES TO THE FAA / NWS.

AT THIS POINT THE FAA / NWS TAKES A LOOK AT ALL THE BIDS THAT WERE SENT IN BY ALL QUALIFIED COMPANIES AND AWARD THE CONTRACT BASED ON PRICE, PAST-PERFORMANCE, AND FINANCIAL STABILITY.  WHEN A COMPANY HAS WON A WEATHER OBSERVATION CONTRACT -- THEY ARE USUALLY NOTIFIED WITHIN 7 DAYS AFTER THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.

NOW, THAT THE COMPANY HAS BEEN AWARDED THE WEATHER OBSERVATION CONTRACT -- IT IS THE COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO STAFF THE WEATHER OBSERVATION SITE ACCORDING TO CONTRACT AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.  FOR EXAMPLE, IF A COMPANY WINS A 24-HOUR SITE THEY MUST LOOK FOR ENOUGH QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO STAFF THE SITE ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS.

THIS IS WHERE AVIATION WEATHER, INC. COMES IN.  OUR WEATHER COMPANY HAS MANAGED TO BE PLACED ON EVERY QUALIFIED VENDORS LIST (QVL) FOR EACH RESPECTIVE FAA REGION.  AS SUCH, WE RECEIVE ALL CONTRACT ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT DEAL WITH WEATHER OBSERVATIONS.  IT IS THIS REASON THAT WE POST CURRENT / UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES ON THE EMPLOYMENT SECTION OF THIS SITE.

WE WANT TO STAFF OUR CONTRACTS WITH THE BEST PEOPLE AVAILABLE AND TO DO THAT -- WE NEED A POOL OF RESUMES TO DRAW FROM.  SO, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A WEATHER OBSERVER, OR IF YOU ALREADY ARE A CERTIFIED WEATHER OBSERVER, AND WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ANY UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES -- JUST CONTACT US AT:   WXCENTER@AOL.COM  OR WXCENTER@AVIATIOMNWEATHERINC.COM   TODAY !!

AVIATION WEATHER OBSERVER (AWO) INDEPENDENT SELF-STUDY COURSE.

AVIATION WEATHER OBSERVERS (AWO'S) ARE NEEDED NATIONWIDE.  IN RECENT YEARS, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE (NWS) HAS CLOSED OVER HALF OF ITS (NWS) OFFICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.  DURING THESE MODERNIZATION CHANGES -- THEY IMPLEMENTED THE AUTOMATED SURFACE OBSERVATION SYSTEM (ASOS) TO PROVIDE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS AT LOCATIONS WHERE (NWS) OFFICES CLOSED, AND MANY OTHER AIRPORT SITES TO HELP PROVIDE BETTER COVERAGE.

THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) HAS SINCE TAKEN OVER THIS AMBITIOUS PROJECT AFTER RECOGNIZING POTENTIAL HAZARD TO AVIATION DUE TO THE MANY LIMITATIONS OF THE 'ASOS' SYSTEM.  THUS, THE 'AWO' CAREER WAS BORN.

THE 'FAA' PROVIDES STAFFING OF THESE LOCATIONS THROUGH PRIVATE CONTRACT WEATHER COMPANIES LIKE US, WHO ARE REQUIRED TO HIRE INDIVIDUALS TRAINED IN TAKING METEOROLOGICAL AVIATION ROUTINE (METAR) WEATHER OBSERVATIONS.  MIND YOU, THIS REQUIREMENT HAS CREATED AN ON-GOING DEMAND FOR QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIALIZED 'METAR' TRAINING.

NATURALLY, WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME A FULLY-QUALIFIED 'AWO'.  BECAUSE OF THIS, WE DON'T BOG YOU DOWN WITH MATERIAL OR COURSE WORK THAT YOU DON'T REALLY NEED OR WILL NEVER USE.  OUR SOLE OBJECTIVE IS TO PREPARE YOU FOR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CERTIFICATION AND A NEW, REWARDING CAREER IN AVIATION WEATHER !         

SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR 'AWO' COURSE INCLUDE:
