Notes:
The CFWS Museum was constructed in 1997 and inaugurated in 1998 in the
School of Meteorology building. The
photos below cover 2003, a few years after the inauguration. Some
displays are unchanged from 1998 but have different camera angles, so
are repeated here. A "Wall of Honour" was added to the Museum in 2019 and will be cross-linked from here when photos are added. A further cross-link is placed from here to Table 8, Office Staff Photos, as some of the staff seen below were part of the School of Meteorology in 1998. |

Meteorological Rockets were launched from the site at Primrose Lake, Alberta (CWIQ) to acquire high altitude weather data in support of AETE programs. Following the termination of each rocket flight, a Radiosonde would be launched to build a data profile and complete a vertical cross-section of the atmosphere for dissemination to users.(description credit - Brian Van Acker) |
