Who can manually disseminate the One-Minute Observation (OMO) if it is required?

• A. The Weather Observer
• B. The Weather Technician
• C. The Base Commander
• D. The Flight Operations Supervisor

Answer: (B)

Manually disseminating the One-Minute Observation when required falls to the Weather Technician because this role is specifically trained and tasked with rapid dissemination of weather information to users who rely on timely updates. The Weather Observer focuses on collecting and validating observations, then feeding data into the system, but the authority to transmit these updates lies with the Weather Technician. The Base Commander and the Flight Operations Supervisor oversee broader operations and planning, not the direct dissemination of meteorological data.
