“The deployment of these modern weather tracking equipment would eliminate subjective weather forecasting through real-time monitoring of weather disturbances,” ASTI Science Research Specialist II Neil Xavier Elpa explained.

DOST-ARMM Sec. Fradzkhan K. Ilaji coordinated the installation of said weather tracking devices.

These modern weather tracking devices are outputs of the Development of Hybrid Weather Monitoring System and Production of Weather and Rain Automated Stations Project, which is jointly managed by the DOST-Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) and  the DOST-Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
