SOSIALISASI SISTEM MONITORING AUTOMATED WEATHER OBSERVING SYSTEM (AWOS) BERBASIS ANDROIDDI BMKG SULTAN MAHMUD BADARUDDIN II PALEMBANG

Abstract

Flight service providers need real-time weather information to ensure the safety of air transportation service users. Real-time weather information can be obtained by continuously monitoring the potential for weather changes. Therefore, every airport must always pay attention to weather information originating from the Meteorological Information Service Unit, which the BMKG provides. BMKG Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Palembang is a station that monitors the weather for flights using the Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS). Observation of data from AWOS is still done manually by looking at the weather parameter numbers regularly using the MS. Excel application. Therefore we need a system that can facilitate observers in observing changes in weather parameters in real-time more easily. Socialization activities have been carried out to explain an Android-based system that can present data from AWOS. It presents AWOS data in graphical form to make it easier to understand. In addition, this system can also send notifications via email if there is a significant change in the weather. Based on the socialization activities carried out, it can be known that BMKG employees have understood the procedures for using the AWOS monitoring system correctly.
