All reports, from stations across the country, go out to headquarters between the hour and fire minutes past. `moi cuit 170" covers the region between North Bay to the north, Kingston on the east, Windsor on the south and the U.S.A./Ca'nada border on the west. When information is filed in the computer, from all stations, a weather forecast can be drawn up and a report. on weather conditions across the country made available with up to the minute information. Weather observations are' taken every hour. These in- volve an assessment of sky con- ditions; how much cloud, what type and how high;' visibility distance; thermometer readings; a check on per- cipitation, four times daily; and barometer pressure readings. Once complete the findings are coded for transmission by teletype. • Readings are taken hourly by Greenwich. Meantime barometer pressure readings are computed down to sea level pressure. At present there are three empoyees- at the weather station. George Haylock is the officer in charge of operations overseeing the work of Torn Dettar and Rich Lippold. In the old quarters the mem worked 11 hour shifts, with three days on and three off, but although this system is being maintained for the moment changes"'to an eight'hour shift may not be far off. It is also hoped that the station will offer new extended hours in the near future opening from 6:30 a.m. 'to 10:36 p.m. Although the sfation is owned by the municipality,' the staff, is employed , by the Ministry of the Environment. The station is officially part of the Atmospheric Environment Service operated by"that depar- tment.
