3. Plans for the future On BATOS AWS
No new installation of Batos AWS for Météo France network, only for E-Surfmar Substitute CV3F and Young wind sensors by WMT52 Finish Iridium development using 9602-LP modem. It will allow to use the new format to encode more complete BUFR. A new AWS for Météo France : PACOME A general architecture (land stations, isolated places, airports, ships, buoys…) with specificities for the ships. Météo France is in a tendering procedure Available for tests in 2013
