8 LOCAL ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO OPERATIONAL PHASE Staff awareness Responsibility of MWO to prepare the SIGMET based on; International Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), Annex 3. Technical Regulations (WMO-No. 49), Volume II: Meteorological Service for International Air Navigation. ASIA/PACIFIC Regional SIGMET Guide. The issues on SIGMET; Phenomena involve more than one FIR. No specific tools especially to locate the coordinate of phenomena. The accuracy of SIGMET (Movements, Intensity and Position of phenomena). 8

9 LOCAL ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO OPERATIONAL PHASE Training The qualifications and competencies required of personnel involved in the provision of aeronautical meteorological services. Qualifications - Aeronautical Meteorological Forecaster (AMF) has successfully completed the Basic Instruction Package for Meteorologists; Competencies for AMF is implemented. Familiarization on the use of Web Tool Refer to the manual of Web Tools. Using the Web Tools in daily SIGMET operation. Refer to JMA/HKO for any problems on Web Tools. 9

10 LOCAL ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO OPERATIONAL PHASE Training Adoption the new SIGMET coordination procedures into actual operation. Use of web applications The completion of Log Book Coordinates the web applications and existing Meteorological Processing System in the dissemination of SIGMET. Harmonization of SIGMET procedures; SIGMET coordination procedures Latest ASIA/PACIFIC Regional SIGMET Guide (5 th Edition) Local Procedures 10

11 LOCAL ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO OPERATIONAL PHASE Training Attended Asia Pacific SIGMET WORKSHOP TOKYO 2016 Training conducted to other forecaster; and Materials used from workshop. Study on Himawari Satellite products continuously. JMA Website MetMalaysia Himawari Satellite Processing System Manual 11

12 LOCAL ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO OPERATIONAL PHASE Review of Local Procedures The new processes to be included in the local procedures; use of Web Tools for the weather monitoring; coordination with other MWO for phenomena involving more than one FIR; Use of Web Tools to generate the coordinate (latitude/longitude) of the SIGMET phenomenon; transfer the SIGMET which is generated from Web Tools to the existing processing system for the dissemination of SIGMET; monitoring of the SIGMET (ABT, SkyVector, AWC, JMA Web Tools); and record the coordination in Log Book; and Document references 12

13 Previous SOP New SOP 13

14 LOCAL ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO OPERATIONAL PHASE Review of Local Procedures Updates the references documents (manual/guidelines): Local Procedures; SIGMET coordination procedures; and ASIA/PACIFIC Regional SIGMET Guide. Updates the use of the system/tools: Web Tools (Monitoring and Generating); and Meteorological Data Processing System (Monitoring, Analysis/Forecasting and Dissemination) 14

15 LOCAL ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO OPERATIONAL PHASE Installation of technical or other sources Installation of Web Tools: Refer to manual (JMA and HKO); Used existing workstation; and No upgrading on the network. Satellite data (Himawari 8) and Composite Radar Network: Enhanced Infrared Satellite Image data updates every 10 Minutes into SATAID and Meteorological Processing System; and Composite CAPPI (2 km) data updates every 10 minutes into Meteorological Processing System. 15

16 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Ongoing staff awareness Frequent discussion on the procedures: SIGMET coordination procedures; ASIA/PACIFIC Regional SIGMET Guide; and Local Procedures. Attending the coordination monthly meeting: updates on new issues; new instructions/amendments of procedures; and Opportunities to share the knowledge. 16

17 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Ongoing staff training All forecasters are involved in the discussion of any issues : during coordination (monitoring and analysis of weather); and actively involved in the case study (preparation). Training on the system hands on training on the updated features available via Web Tools; and other MetMalaysia Meteorological Systems (radar, satellite and WAFS products) which is available for the purposes of monitoring and analysis. 17

18 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Update of local procedures Update accordingly from the monthly meeting highlights: Processes (Methodologies); Web Tools new features (JMA and HKO); local meteorological system (overlay radar data and satellite); and Add new document references (WMO, ICAO, etc) 18

19 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Number of SIGMET Completion of logbooks 19

20 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Completion of logbooks Number of SIGMET Coordination 20

21 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Completion of logbooks SIGMET Coordination Logbook 21

22 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Completion of logbooks Significant elements to be recorded in the logbook includes: Date of consultation; Consultation start and end time; Local MWO; Consulted by or consultation with neighbouring MWO; SIGMET sequence number; Phenomenon; Observed or forecast; Geographic area affected; Brief description of the consultation (reach consensus and/or non consensus); Full SIGMET message issued by the originating MWO; and Suggestions for improvement. 22

23 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Completion of logbooks Criteria for logbook completion: For any coordinated SIGMETs; and Recorded after the issuance of coordinated SIGMET. Review logbook to identify any issues for further discussion (monthly meeting as a case study). Retain logbook (softcopy) 23

24 LOCAL ACTIVITIES DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE Resolution of the technical difficulties Web Tools Call the front line maintenance team (24 x 7) for any problem encountered on workstation and network; Report to WEB TOOL ADMINISTRATOR (JMA via BBS chatroom/ and HKO (via HKO chatroom); and Call the Satellite Division for any problem on the SATAID Satellite Images. Other Meteorological Systems as a back-up for the SIGMET coordination. Corrective and preventive maintenance which is support by maintenance team (office/headquarters) 24

25 POSITIVE EXPERIENCES Increase the knowledge and confident among forecasters through: Discussion with other MWO; Discussion on any issues encountered (case studies) in the monthly meeting; Improve local SOP Cooperation at international level for development of SIGMET Coordination Procedures and Guidelines; and Technologies (web tools) used for monitoring and generating of phenomenon coordinate and SIGMET messages. 25

26 AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT Methodologies used for the movement of phenomenon; 26

27 AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT Need to have a proper procedure to be included in the SIG-Coord Guidelines on determining the SIGMET consistency (to reach consensus) {E.g: cloud top reference, movement & intensity} 27

28 AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT Usage of other satellite images. Eg. Cloud Type, etc.; To include cloud type or other types of satellite images in web tools Himawari 8 Cloud Type 28

29 AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT Use of WAFC (graphic) for the monitoring of SIGMET Graphic SIGMET 29

30 AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT Use of actual upper wind chart (0000UTC and 1200UTC); Upper Wind Chart (1,000ft, 3,000ft, 5,000ft, 7,000ft, 10,000ft, 14,000ft, 19,000ft, 25,000ft, 32,000ft, 36,000ft and 41,000ft) 30

31 AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT Verification on Infra-Red Satellite (position of phenomenon). FY2E ASEAN IR, 0000UTC, 23/02/17 HIMAWARI 8 ASEAN IR, 0020 UTC, 23/02/17 31

32 AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT Verification on Infra-Red Satellite (position of phenomenon). IR satellite images, JMA Web Tools, 0100UTC, 23/2/2017 Overlay IR Himawari satellite images with Radar CAPPI (2km) Composite images, 0000UTC 32

33 RECOMMENDATIONS WMO or JMA expert provide training on the application of satellite images. Involves other adjacent FIR Other adjacent FIR to Kuala Lumpur FIR : Bangkok, Yangon and Chennai Other adjacent FIR to Kota Kinabalu FIR : Manila 33

34 Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu and adjacent FIR 34

35 TRANSITION TO FULL OPERATIONAL SIG-Coord Commencement on 1 st May 2017 at 0000UTC. Support required JMA and HKO for web tools Training 35

36 OTHER ITEMS/ISSUES WMO and ICAO future plan To disseminate Graphical SIGMET locally To practice the usage of NWP products to forecast phenomena in the issuance of SIGMET 36
