Meredith Bell, Atmospheric Program Manager, to testify before Subcommittee on Environment, to discuss collaboration with NOAA and airlines
CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / March 27, 2023 / FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (TSX-V:FLY) (OTCQX:FLYLF) (the "Company" or "FLYHT") today announced that Ms. Meredith Bell, Atmospheric Program Manager at FLYHT, will testify before the Subcommittee on Environment of the United States House of Representatives tomorrow, Tuesday, March 28, 2023. Ms. Bell will join representatives of Saildrone, Inc., Spire Global, and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, to provide a prepared statement and answer questions related to the proposed reauthorization of the Weather Act.
Widely viewed as the first comprehensive weather authorization since the NOAA Authorization Act of 1992, The Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017 (the "Weather Act") bolsters the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research's (OAR) commitment to advancing weather research and reinvigorating the weather portfolio. The Weather Program Office (WPO) ensures alignment by collaborating with various subject matter experts across National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop Congressional reports and insights required, and briefing NOAA leadership on OAR-related activities and reports. The hearing, which will be livestreamed here, will bring together subject matter experts in data collection in the sea, space, and sky, with Ms. Bell speaking to data collection for airlines and the sky.
"Recent extreme turbulence events on flights highlight the importance of increased in-situ observations, improved weather modeling and collaboration," added Ms. Bell. "The Weather Act is a key pillar in the effort to understand our changing weather patterns, so we can better model and forecast severe weather., This will in turn improve turbulence and aviation forecasts and ensure aviation safety. I look forward to sharing how tools such as FLYHT's weather sensor technology, in partnership with the federal government, can be leveraged for the benefit of us all."
Specifically for weather, FLYHT provides Aircraft Meteorological Data Reports (AMDAR) data through its Automated Flight Reporting System (AFIRS) system, which includes temperature, wind speed and direction as well as two solutions that include relative humidity: the Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting (TAMDAR) sensor and the FLYHT Water Vapor Sensing System (WVSS-II) sensor.
