Ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻike ea a me nā lawelawe ma Vanuatu

ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka ʻike a me nā lawelawe i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ma Vanuatu e hoʻokau i nā pilikia logistical kūʻokoʻa.
Ua hana ʻo Andrew Harper ma ke ʻano he loea ʻo NIWA Pākīpika no nā makahiki he 15 a ʻike ʻo ia i ka mea e manaʻo ai i ka wā e hana ana ma ia wahi.
He 17 mau ʻeke kima, 42 mika o nā paipu PVC, 80 mika o nā mea paʻa paʻa a me nā mea hana e hāʻawi ʻia i ka manawa no ke kūkulu ʻana, wahi āna. "Akā, ua hoʻolei ʻia kēlā hoʻolālā i waho o ka puka makani i ka wā i haʻalele ʻole ai kahi moku lako i ke awa ma muli o kahi makani ʻino.
"He kaupalena pinepine ka halihali kūloko, no laila inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi kaʻa hoʻolimalima, maikaʻi ia. Ma nā mokupuni liʻiliʻi o Vanuatu, pono ke kālā e noho ai, nā mokulele a me nā meaʻai, a ʻaʻole pilikia kēia a hiki i kou ʻike ʻana he nui nā wahi e hiki ai i nā haole ke loaʻa kālā. me ka hoʻi ʻole ʻana i ka ʻāina nui."
Hoʻohui pū ʻia me nā pilikia ʻōlelo, ʻo ka logistic āu e ʻae ʻole ai ma New Zealand e like paha me kahi paʻakikī paʻakikī i ka Pākīpika.
Pono kēia mau pilikia a pau i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo NIWA e hoʻokomo i nā kikowaena weather automatic (AWS) ma Vanuatu ma mua o kēia makahiki. ʻO kēia mau pilikia, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana me ka ʻole o ka ʻike kūloko o ka hoa hana, ʻo Vanuatu Meteorology and Geological Hazards Department (VMGD).
Ua hana pū ʻo Andrew Harper a me kāna hoa hana ʻo Marty Flanagan me ʻeono mau loea VMGD a me kahi hui liʻiliʻi o nā kāne kūloko e hana lima. Mālama ʻo Andrew lāua ʻo Marty i nā kikoʻī ʻenehana a hoʻomaʻamaʻa a aʻo i nā limahana VMGD i hiki iā lākou ke hana kūʻokoʻa i nā papahana e hiki mai ana.
Ua hoʻokomo mua ʻia nā kikowaena ʻeono, ua hoʻouna ʻia ʻekolu mau kikowaena a hoʻokomo ʻia i Kepakemapa. ʻEono hou aʻe i hoʻolālā ʻia, i ka makahiki aʻe paha.
Hiki i nā limahana ʻenehana NIWA ke hāʻawi i ke kākoʻo hoʻomau inā pono, akā ʻo ka manaʻo kumu ma hope o kēia hana ma Vanuatu a me ka nui o nā hana a NIWA ma ka Pākīpika e hiki ai i nā hui kūloko o kēlā me kēia ʻāina ke mālama i kā lākou mau lako ponoʻī a kākoʻo i kā lākou mau hana ponoʻī.
E uhi ana ka pūnaewele AWS ma kahi o 1,000 mau kilomita mai Aneityum ma ka hema a i Vanua Lava ma ka ʻākau.
Hoʻolako ʻia kēlā me kēia AWS me nā mea hana pololei e ana i ka wikiwiki o ka makani a me ke kuhikuhi ʻana, ka ea a me ka mahana o ka ʻāina, ke kaomi ea, ka haʻahaʻa, ka ua a me ka radiation lā. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā mea hana a pau ma ke ʻano i hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia e like me nā kūlana a me nā kaʻina hana o ka World Meteorological Organization e hōʻoia i ka kūlike o ka hōʻike.
Hoʻouna ʻia nā ʻikepili mai kēia mau mea hana ma o ka Pūnaewele i kahi waihona ʻikepili kikowaena. He mea maʻalahi paha kēia i ka wā mua, akā ʻo ke kī e hōʻoia i ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana o nā mea hana a pau e hana pono ai lākou a mau no nā makahiki he nui me ka liʻiliʻi o nā koi mālama. He 1.2 mika paha ka ʻike wela ma luna o ka honua? He 0.2 mika paha ka hohonu o ka lepo? E kuhikuhi pololei ana anei ka makani i ka akau? He waiwai nui ka ʻike o NIVA ma kēia wahi – maopopo nā mea a pau a pono e hana pono.
ʻO Vanuatu, e like me ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina ma ka ʻāina Pākīpika, ua pilikia loa i nā pōʻino kūlohelohe e like me nā ʻino a me nā maloʻo.
Akā ʻōlelo ʻo Sam Thapo, ka mea hoʻoponopono papahana VMGD, hiki i ka ʻikepili ke hana hou aku. "E hoʻomaikaʻi ia i ke ola o ka poʻe e noho nei ma nā ʻano he nui."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sam e kōkua ka ʻike i nā keʻena aupuni o Vanuatu e hoʻolālā maikaʻi i nā hana pili i ke aniau. No ka laʻana, hiki i ka Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture ke hoʻolālā no ka mālama ʻana i ka wai e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻoi aku ka pololei o nā wānana kau o ka mahana a me ka ua. E pōmaikaʻi ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi mai ka ʻike maikaʻi ʻana i nā ʻano o ka wā a me ka hopena o El Niño/La Niña i ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka hoʻomaikaʻi nui ʻana o ka ua a me ka ʻikepili wela e hāʻawi i ke Keʻena Ola e hāʻawi i nā ʻōlelo aʻo maikaʻi aʻe no nā maʻi i lawe ʻia e ka makika. Hiki i ke Keʻena ʻOihana ke loaʻa ka ʻike hou i ka mana o ka lā e pani ai i ka hilinaʻi ʻana o kekahi mau mokupuni i ka mana diesel.
Ua kākoʻo ʻia ka hana e ka Global Environment Facility a ua hoʻokō ʻia e Vanuatu's Ministry of Climate Change a me ka United Nations Development Program (UNDP) ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka Building Resilience through Infrastructure Improvement program. ʻO ke kumu kūʻai liʻiliʻi, akā me ka hiki ke loaʻa i nā mea hou aku.
