| Notes: Many references in Zephyr mention the
volunteer weather observers who take meteorological measurements for
AES and
send them to
regional offices. These people are often recognized in their
regions and by
HQs, but because their readings are not in "real time", their data
usually ends up in the climate data bases. So they are frequently
called "Climate Observers". Many have been observing for decades and they always appreciate recognition. March 23, 1983 was WMO World Weather Observer Day and, to prepare for this, AES (MSC) collected photos of some Canadian volunteer observers. Several of these photos are seen here. Some still need identification, but many were recognized in a special article on pages 6 and 7 of the May / June 1983 edition of Zephyr. Most of the photos were taken in 1982. |
