2 On the Mountain In the City Photo by: Mark Watmough Summer Severe Weather Heavy Rain Strong Winds Air Quality Lightning Hail Heat/UV Past experience from Sydney, Beijing, and Vancouver Heavy Rain/Flooding Infrastructure Failure Tornadoes Hail Weather will become the #1 daily Agenda item for the Games Operating Committee. SMOG 15 events/yr 2-3 day episodes 2
3 Priorities This Year In order to produce venue specific weather warnings, we needed observational data at a finer spatial and temporal scale After an evaluation of the existing weather observational network, gaps were identified. to build 3 all season sites 20 to 30 summer only compact sites, some will be collocated with venues To use additional existing equipment to augment observation network density Three Full Stations Locations selected with MT input to improve coverage of the GTA area Leases to be concluded soon. Construction to begin this summer To be built to RCS standard but scheduled for removal after the games Locations EWS AMOS will deploy our Emergency weather station. Location to be determined, but one possible location is Toronto Island to augment marine forecasts No Environmental Assessment required as station is portable Recently completed communication upgrade 3
4 U/A Marine AMOS will deploy our Emergency U/A station. Location to be determined flight frequency up to 4x a day AMOS will deploy one Watchkeeper buoy with one Waverider buoy to augment wave data Lowest cost option as these assets are already within the Marine Network Will need CCG assistance with deployments Plan calls for buoys in the water for testing in FY 2013/14 Compact Stations Compact Stations Compact Stations will measure T/Td, Pressure, Wind Speed and Direction, and on some sensor models - precipitation Many if not all will be camera equipped Cooperation Health Canada Black Globes for Heat Index Communication will be IP modem based Power will be solar no guarantee of 115v availability Totally portable deployable from a minivan by one person if necessary (some assembly required) Two stations, one with a camera, running at CARE, with more coming soon to provide proof-of-concept data 4
