Statement of Work Associated with Implementing Arrangement
Number 8 Consultancy Services For the Advanced Operational
Aviation Weather System (AOAWS) subject to the Agreement between
the American Institute In Taiwan and the Taipei Economic and
Cultural Representative Office in the United States for
Technical Cooperation associated with Establishment of Advanced
Operational Aviation Weather Systems

1.0 Background and Objectives
The Agreement between the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT)
and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office
in the United States (TECRO) provides for technical
cooperation between the University Corporation for
Atmospheric Research (UCAR), as AIT's designated
representative, and the Civil Aeronautics Administration
(CAA), as TECRO's designated representative. UCAR and CAA
will cooperate on the development and establishment of
operational aviation weather systems.
The Advanced Operational Aviation Weather System (AOAWS)
developed by TECRO's designated representative CAA, requires
up-to-date scientific and technical components in order to
provide a high level of service to the aviation community on
Taiwan. Most of this science and technology has been
developed at UCAR over the past decade and has been
validated in operational environments both in the U. S. and
in other countries.
The AOAWS consists of advanced meteorological sensor systems
(at airports and within the Taiwan airspace), a
communications infrastructure, a product generation
component, a system server component that distributes
products to users, and product displays that present the
advanced weather information to end users. AOAWS system
components have been integrated to form an operational,
turn-key system that serves the aviation community.
UCAR, as AIT's designated representative, will provide the
necessary technology to TECRO and its designated
representative CAA in support of the AOAWS.
2.0 Task Descriptions
The AOAWS Project technical activities will be led again
this year by AIT's designated representative, UCAR, which
will continue to work closely with TECRO's designated
representative, CAA, to address AOAWS-related questions and
issues as necessary and appropriate. UCAR will respond to
routine requests made by TECRO's designated representative,
CAA, and interface with the CAA and the CAA's cooperative
partner, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB). In addition, UCAR
will prepare progress reports, prepare and submit
deliverable documents, prepare and submit project
correspondence, administer the AOAWS contracts, and
correspond with project-related participants.
2.1 Task #1 - System Support and Maintenance Services
System administration and software engineering support and
