The DTN MetConsole platform will facilitate automated weather observing systems (AWOS) at the airports and support the AMAP programme, a nationwide project designed to upgrade the entire aviation meteorological observation infrastructure.

The AMAP system will facilitate the future development of fully automated observations at some airports.

"The AMAP system is expected to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the weather observation service."

Met Éireann Aviation Services head Tony Tighe said: “Met Éireann will benefit from this upgrade through the development of a network of fully integrated and automatic weather observation systems at all of the state’s main airports.

“The AMAP system is expected to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the weather observation service while simultaneously enhancing services to the aviation community and minimising the cost of implementation and operation.”
