Case Study: The SIMIN Project

Baron worked with partners Lockheed Martin and Harris Corporation to modernize a national integrated meteorological system for Romania, named SIMIN (Sistemul Meteorologic Integrat National).

SIMIN integrates a diverse array of meteorological hardware and capabilities. Baron performed full systems integration on these assets, a process requiring data from legacy systems to be converted to a format compatible with the newer installations. In total, Baron performed integration services for:

• C-band and S-band radar sensors
• An eight-sensor lightning detection network
• 60 automated surface stations
• Four aviation weather observation stations
• METEOSAT data feed
• 11 observational buoys
• Forecast models
• Data distribution and display
• Alert messaging
• Advanced radar analysis and nowcasting systms
• Data processing for uniquely tailored data products
