The training component of the Project was one from which Nicaragua benefited most. The Meteorological Office of
INETER organised two national technical training courses for Class IV and III meteorologists. 37 technicians were
trained as Class IV meteorological observers; 17 trainees became Class III technicians. These courses were attended
by personnel from the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (UNAN), the Aquatic Resources Research
Center and from the Civil Aeronautics General Directorate. The course for Class IV meteorologists raised the
technical level of more than 30 observers. As a result, the codification of observations and information has improved
significantly. The university level training programmes in the University of Costa Rica were attended by 9 Class II and 3
Class I meteorologists. Personnel prepared basic national climatic surveys of drought and EI Nino and took part in
the time quality control and air quality monitoring in the urban area of Managua. The Class I meteorologists
reinforced the Synoptic and Aeronautical Department, participating in the exploitation of the two-way satellite
telecommunication system and the climate data base. They have been assigned tasks related to different WMO technical
commissions.
