During the four years of the Project, the observation network has been reactivated and strengthened with a total of 92 observing
stations, 60 of which are pluviometric and 10 hydrometric stations. The reactivated stations are located in agricultural,
cattle raising, fishing or industrial zones where the collected data are of great importance. In the areas where coffee, staples,
and sugar cane are grown, meteorological records and outlooks of extreme temperatures and rainfall are provided to prevent crop damage.
The two-way satellite telecommunication system was installed at Ilopango Airport where the National Forecasting Center is located. The synoptic and aeronautical weather forecasts as well as warning services of natural disasters have been improved. The introduction of the climate data management system CLICOM and agroclimatic and hydrological models has improved the processing of meteorological and hydrological data.
