The training programme of Class II and Class III meteorologists strengthenedthe capacity by 50%. The meteorologists
are now working at the InstitutoMeteorologia Nacional (IMN) in the fields of aeronautical meteorology,public information,
climatology and at the Hydrology Dept. of the CostaRican Electricity Institute in support of the hydroelectric operations.
Half of the technical staff of IMN were trained during the Project.The national observation network was thus rehabilitated and improved byabout 25% and the meteorological telecommunication network as well as theupper air observing system by 100%. The data bases of the IMN and the NationalRadiation Center were also developed.
