The rehabilitation of the networks was carried out to improve the quality of
data provided in the synoptic and aeronautical services. The national data
collection and telecommunication systems as well as instrumentation were
renovated at nine stations. The quality of observations and information on
visibility and the cloud base were improved through the installation of
new measuring systems at the Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City.
Meteorological instrumentation was renovated and reactivated at 22 stations
located in the main agricultural zones. Spare parts and accessories for
five years’ use were also provided to the stations.
The regional meteorological information and telecommunication system was renovated by the new two-way satellite system which guarantees regionally and internationally a high degree of continuity of data and information flow as well as of data exchange. The obsolete CEMET system constituted earlier an obstacle to the provision of synoptic and aeronautical meteorological services, especially in rainy seasons.
