EDITOR, The Tribune.
The two tracking systems - the US/GFS and the European equivalent are two essential tools to know precisely where a storm is travelling - the potential wind field (speed of the winds) - when it will arrive at any island, etc.
We at home on our cells-laptops-computers have access to these sophisticated programmes.
Were we not to have installed by March-April, 2017 the initial Doppler radar unit at LPIA?
Is it working? When will it be working? Why is it not working now some five-months late to be operational as the Director of Met then advised. It is late so have the supplier been fined for late delivery?
I recall the next unit was to be installed in Abaco - I disagree it should be either Mayaguana or Long Island as most storms come into The Bahamas from the Atlantic in that direction.
Can the Minister of Transport advise the status of this programme and explain why there are delays?
