The Php25.2 million Project by
the DOST-PAGASA in the construction of Doppler Radar building located at West
Visayas and this was integrated with the Agricultural Research Center in
Ilo-ilo nears on its completion.
The recent construction of the
facility is the PAGASA’s 10th Station in the Philippines. This facility
will forecast and monitor all weather disturbances that can affect Visayas
Regions.
The Doppler Radar has latest
technology innovations in weather forecasting, with this facility the
measurement of rain speed, intensity and the area where the rain were expected
to fall were become more accurate.
It will enhance forecasting and
typhoon warnings will be released based on the projected forecast. The system
is expected to prevent large scale disaster in the Visayas Regions.
Philippines lack of warning
facilities effect people and even billions of pesos damage on infrastructure
and agricultural lands. PAGASA Western
Visayas regions has no advanced facility that will forecast accurate weather
disturbances.
