At the Wednesday, November 28 meeting... INTRODUCING: THE WBZ-TV MOBILE WEATHER LAB With WBZ-TV staff meteorologist JOE JOYCE and speakers from ACCELERATED MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (Integrators of the mobile lab) The WBZ-TV Weather lab is a high tech weather station designed for on-location field assessment of weather conditions fitted with satellite dish, computers, sensors to detect wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure and rain measurement. HD cameras display real-time environmental views. The vehicle, built into a SUV frame has heavy-duty tires to withstand the added weight of all of the equipment. WBZ-TV meteorologist Joe Joyce will describe how the station plans to integrate the mobile lab into the station’s weather forecasting operations and how it will be used to provide more accurate and up-to-the minute information from the field. Accelerated Media Technology personnel will discuss the vehicle conversion and construction. Special thanks to PAUL PABIS, Director Broadcast Operations & Engineering/CBS Boston’s WBZ-TV & myTV38 for making this meeting possible.
