Japan will organize a WMO Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) “Best Practice” Workshop 2017, which will be held at the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) in Tokyo, from Wednesday 7 to Friday 9 June 2017.
The aim of the workshop is to exchange information between the nine VAACs on the current operational practices in monitoring and forecasting volcanic ash, recent technological advancement, and related quality assurance procedures, in order to identify collaboration opportunities that would lead to a more harmonized model of quality service delivery to aviation stakeholders in the context of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s International Airways Volcano Watch (IAVW) system.
