AWOS in Iowa, May 21, 2009

Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS) collect and disseminate weather data to various sources for the primary purpose of enhancing the safety of aircraft operations in Iowa’s air transportation system. A network of 41 AWOS systems is maintained by the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT), and strategically located at airports around Iowa to provide both geographic and airport-specific coverage. AWOS enhances aviation safety by providing critical airport weather information to pilots to be used for flight planning and in-flight decision making. The system provides real-time weather observations, including wind, visibility, current weather, sky conditions, temperature, dew point, altimeter setting, and remarks, such as density altitude and local airport conditions.

Iowa Substance Abuse Brief; Alcohol: Binge Drinking, May 2009, Issue 2

Binge drinking by Iowans is a serious problem. Binge drinking is commonly defined as five or more drinks of alcohol on the same occasion for men and four or more for women. The 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) estimated that 11% (approximately 28,000) of Iowans 12-17 years of age and 51% (approximately 177,000) of Iowans ages 18-25 had engaged in binge drinking during the past month. Favorable community and peer norms about alcohol use and easy access both contribute to this problem. Consequences of binge drinking can be immediate, like alcohol poisoning or injury, or much more delayed such as an increased risk for stroke or alcoholism. In either case the results can be severe.
