NAV CANADA - TO2015 Pan and Parapan American Games

NAV CANADA (NC) provided Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) with automated minutely weather observations from six select AWOS stations (i.e. airport locations) in southern Ontario as an experimental, proof-of-concept program in support of the 2015 Games. The minutely data were at a higher temporal frequency than the hourly observations that are normally provided (sub-hourly weather specials, as required). The minutely data from these stations were considered raw and unofficial; observations can only be considered official after NC data processing and transmission to ECCC is in a specific format and fashion (as they are for hourly observations). For official automatic and staffed hourly observations for these and other airport locations in southern Ontario, please visit Climate Data Online (http://climate.weather.gc.ca) or consult ECCC’s Meteorological Service of Canada Climate Services group (ec.services.climatiques-climate.services.ec@canada.ca) for more information.
