"A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) was established for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to collect, and then analyze, advanced weather observations during these Olympics. The study of these specialized data will allow scientists to better understand meteorological processes in mountain and coastal regions in a winter environment. As part of this project, ECCC's Science and Technology Branch, a leader in weather observation based research, contributed a number of advanced instruments that provided detailed measurements of winds, precipitation and fog. Working with South Korea, Canada will use these data and knowledge to improve our weather prediction models and in forecasting hazardous weather"--Plain language summary.
