In order to improve maintenance services within the
Meteorological Department, the project provided workshop and laboratory
equipment. Two vehicles were also provided to enhance station inspection
and field maintenance. The Department’s maintenance operations were further
boosted by the training of two technicians.
Zambia is another country that also had other meteorological projects going on in parallel with the Finland/SATCC/WMO Meteorology project, which therefore complemented the other inputs to the Meteorological Department. The Meteorological Department hosting the RTH is of crucial importance to the day-to-day operations of the other NMSs in the region. The strengthening of the RTH through the provision of an automatic Message Switching System has improved the amount of observational data available to the region. This has contributed to the improved quality of weather forecasts and aeronautical services in both Zambia and the region as a whole.
