Met. service improvement
PA Wellington The Meteorological Service will provide an improved and more comprehensive service to both domestic and international aviation from today by the use of recently acquired computer facilities. For domestic aviation there will be more efficient monitoring of forecasts leading to their speedier updating, the service has announced. Modernisation of forecasting for international aviation has resulted in the establishment of a special centre at Kelburn, Welling-
ton. as one of 16 similar centres around the world. These were established in accordance with international civil aviation organisation plans to provide standardised. forecasts for international aviation.
The Wellington centre has been assigned an area of responsibility in the southwest Pacific, extending from Melbourne to Tahiti and from the Equator to Invercargill. Computer-based forecasting techniques used at this centre are expected to provide more accurate, fore casts than in the past
