The AOAWSis a cooperative effort between the Taipei Economic and CulturalRepresentative Office in teh United States (TECRO), through itsdesignated representative, the Civil Aeronautice Administration(CAA), of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MO-TC), and AIT, through its dessignated representative uCAR. ThisImplementing Arrangement pertains to the Agreement (date August14 1998, hereinafter referred to as the Agreement) between TECROand AIT for Technical Ccoperation associated with the Establish-ment of aAdvanced Operational Aviation Weather Systems and is apart of the Agreement. ARTICLE Ⅱ-AUTHORIZATION ──────────── The activities described in this Implementing Arrangement willbe carried our under the general terms and conditions establish-ed by the Agreement. the Agreement was entered into by the part-ies pursuant to the Taiwan Relations Act of April 10, 1979, Pub-lic Law 96-8 (22 USC 3301 et seq.) ARTICLE Ⅲ-SERVICES ────────── The AOAWS provides TECRO's designated representative CAA, the a-irlines and the flying public on Taiwan with state-of-the-art a-viation weather technology for:1) hazardours weather phenomenathat affect aviation operations, 2) weather phenomena that affe-ct airspace capacity and safety at major hub airports, and 3) w-eather phenomena that affect overall efficiency of aviation ope-ratins. The AOAWS is a complex system utilizing serveral advanc-ed weather sensing subsystems, integrated communciations, advan-ced software developed by AIT's designated representative, UCAR,advanced numerical weather forecast models developed by UCAR, a-nd advanced display technology for TECRO's designated represent-ative, CAA, and airline and users. The successful implementationof the AOAWS is heavily dependent on technical cooperation andtechnology transfer between teh designated representatives of T-ECRO and AIT in accordance with the terms and conditions of theAgreement, this Implementing Arrangement, and future Implementi-ng Arrangements to be agreed upon by the parties. This Implementing Arrangement is secificall focused on:a) provi-ding support and maintenance services for the AOAWS system, andb) developing and implementing system enchancements (e.g., tuni-ng algorithms) based on system performance and user feedbanck.The technical cooperation to be undertaken under the auspices ofthis Implementing Arrangement is defined by the following tasks.Task details, including specific work to be performed, performa-nce period, and estimated cost for each task are contained in t-he Statement of Wrok. A summary description of the tasks to be performed durign thisperiod is provided below. Task #1-System Support and Maintenance Services Sysetm administration and software engineering support will beprovided for the AOAWS system during FY2003. Defects in teh AOA-WS System software which arise or develop during this period wi-ll be addressed and resolved. Support and maintenance servicesincludes both hardware and software components of the AOAWS. AIT's designated representative, UCAR, will provide support as nec-essary to TECRO's designated representative, CAA, on Taiwan toensure the AOAWS system serviceability level remains consistent-ly high. Task #2 -Development & Implementation of System EnhancementsAOAWS system enhancements will be developed, tested and impleme-nted during FY2003. System refinements will include a) upgrading the MM5 weather fo-recast model to the latest release available from AIT's designa-ted representative, UCAR, upgrading the Multidimensional DisplaySystem (MDS) and tuning the performance monitorying system. ARTICLE Ⅳ-FINANCIAL PROVISIONS In accordance with teh Agreement, uCAR is undertaking this tech-nical cooperation as the designated representative of AIT. TECROwill reimburse AIT and AIt will make necessary arrangements totransfer such funds to UCAR for all costs incurred in associati-on with this Implementing arrangement. UCAR for all costs incur-red in association with this Implementing Arrangement. UCAR's c-osts for this technical cooperation will be assessed on the bas-is of actual labor time and materials utilized, plus a 3% manag-ement fee. TECRO has agreed that fifty percent (50%) of the est-imated cost for the tasks associated with this Implementing Arr-angement wil be transferred in advance to AIT and that the rema-ining costs will e reimbursed within 30 days after acceptance ofthe deliverables by TECRO and its designated representative CAA.It is agreed and understood that the payment will be provided inUS$. The upper limit for esxpenditures incurred under this Impl-ementing Arrangement is US$207,850. uCAR will submit an invoiceto AIT for transmittal to TECRO for payment at the beginning ofthe contract period and at the and of the contract period listi-ng actual costs incurred. ARTICLE Ⅴ-INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CONSIDERATIONS The deliverables produced under the auspiced of this Implementi-ng Arrangement shall be the sole property of TECRO and its desi-gnated representative CAA. AIT's designated representative, UCAR, shall have the right to reference these documents in scientif-ic publications and other reports as necessary. ARTICLE Ⅵ-EFFECTIVE DATE, AMENDMENT, AND TERMINATION This implementing arrangement takes effect 1 January 2003 and t-he completion date of tasks described in this Implementing arra-ngement is 31 December 2003. This Implementing Arrangement maybe amended and/or terminiated in accordance with the terms andconditions of the Agreement.

CAA andUCAR will cooperate on the development adn establishment of ope-rational aviation weather systems. The Advanced Operational Aviation Weather System (AOAWS) beingdeveloped by TECRO's designated representative CAA, requires cu-rrent scientific and technical cooponents in order to provide ahigh level of service to the aviation community on Taiwan. Mostof this science and technology has been developed at UCAR overthe past decade and has been validated in operational environme-nts both in the U.S. and in other countries. The AOAWS consists of advanced meteorological sensor systems (atairports and within the Taiwan airspace), a communications infr-astructure, a product generation component, a system server com-ponent that distributes products to users, and product displaysthat present the advanced weather information to the users. AOA-WS system components have been integrated to form an operational, turn-key system that serves the aviation community. AIT's designatd representative, UCAR, will provide the necessarytechnology to TECRO and its designated representative, CAA, insupport of the AOAWS. 2.0 Task Descriptions The AOAWS Project technical activities will be led again this y-ear by AIT's designated representative, UCAR, which will contin-ue to work closelg with TECRO's designatded representative, CAA,to address AOAWS-related questions and issues as necessary andappropriate. UCAR will coordinate and manage the work performedby CAA, TECRO's designated representative. uCAR will respond toroutine requests made by TECRO's designated representative, CAA,and interface with the CAA and the CAA's Cooperative Partner, t-he Central Weather Bureau (CWB). In addition, UCAR will preparteprogress reports, prepare and submit deliverable documents, pre-pare and submit project correspondence, administerthe AOAWS con-tracts, and correspond with project-related participants. 2.1 Task #1-System Support and maintenance Services System administration and software engineering support and main-tenance wil lbe provided for the AOAWS system during FY2003. AO-AWS components are located at the Taipei Aeronautical meteorolo-gical Center (TEMC), the Sungshan Airport (SS) Weater Station a-nd FIS, kaohsiung Airport (KH) Weather Station and two FISs, andthe Taipei Area Control Center (TACC). AOAWS sofware components that are covered by the support and ma-intenance service include the Multi-dimensional Display System (MDS), System monitor Display (SMD), Web multi-dimensional Displ-ay System (WMDS), Model Display, date servers and conmmunicationhardware, and weather products.
