The department maintains close liaison with the consultants appointed by government and supplies the required data or analysis. The Observatory will generally provide comments on prevailing and extreme wind conditions, hydrometeorology of the study areas, sea waves and storm surge conditions. The Observatory also provides advice to private enterprises that have a requirement for meteorological information for their engineering projects. A charge will be levied depending on the scope of the services required. There are occasions when an engineering project demands substantial data collection and analysis efforts by the Observatory over a prolonged period.
Special teams are organised to tackle suck tasks.
On the provision of these services, the departments or companies concerned are firstly invited to discuss on details such as the proposed methodology, schedule and charges. Work will commence once an agreement is made.
