Back-up is the method of manually providing meteorological data and/or dissemination to an AMOS observation when the primary automated method is not operational or unavailable due to sensor and/or communication failure.
7 OSS/OSW personnel are responsible for backing-up the FMQ-19 only when the airfield is open.
When in back-up mode, weather personnel will only augment the malfunctioning sensor; they will not replace the entire automated observation.
The CWW is a program where qualified nonweather personnel monitor the weather to assist in the reporting of weather conditions that could affect flight safety or are critical to the safety or efficiency of other local operations and resources.
The display derives data from sensors and weather instruments on the field to provide a graphic representation of wind and weather elements.
