Wind Probe Support Program

The General Assembly of the PG Association approved the proposed Wind Probe Support Program.

Support applies allowance for seasonal (annual) operation of the probe. Therefore, it does not apply to the costs of acquisition, purchase or installation of the probe.

Support conditions:

  • the probe operator (registered association) can submit the request to the Presidency of the PG Association
  • the probe must be placed in a suitable and useful place (support for probes placed in an inappropriate place or near an insignificant or little-used launch site may be refused)
  • data must be available with reasonable reliability
  • the data must be published to the selected URL in the form of an API, which must meet the specified specification Wind API

Amount of support:

3000 CZK per year for 1 probe. If the operator (association) operates several probes, the support increases by 1000 CZK up to the maximum height 5000 CZK for one operator.

The Union PG will allocate the total maximum amount to the Wind Probe Support Program 50000 CZK per year. Support will be allocated according to the order of applications received for the relevant calendar year.

Renewal of support:

Support is always limited to one calendar year, and the application will have to be renewed (resubmitted) in subsequent years. The Bureau reserves the right not to re-allocate support in the event that the experience of operating the supported probe has not met expectations (reliability, availability, etc.).
