The new upgraded system, launched this week by NWS in Port Moresby, is a powerful tool for tracking analysis of high quality accurate weather forecast in PNG.
Weather forecasters will be able to receive data faster in 10 minutes intervals unlike in the past when the old system provided data hourly.
Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) PNG chief operating officer Captain Tom Waqa the new equipment will provide massive improvements as far as aviation, weather forecasting and reporting is concerned.
