Activities
WSO Pago Pago operates 24 hours a day, providing public weather forecasts and warnings, including high surf, in both English and Samoan, towards the NWS mission of "Protecting Life and Property".
In addition to issuing forecasts and warnings, the WSO Pago Pago office launches weather balloons twice a day to gather information about the upper atmosphere. This information is used by the staff at WSO Pago Pago, and also at other offices across the NWS as the information from all balloon launches are incorporated in the various computer models meteorologists use
