The Project has played a fundamental role in the accomplishment of a national meteorological and hydrological data base. Before the Project there was no reliable data base for data collection or quality control. In April 1996, the data base consisted of about 60 000 records of daily data and more than 20 000 records of monthly data. The implementation of the CLICOM system made it possible to record data for the publishing of the Meteorological Tide Tables from 1991 onwards. The recording and publication of Psychrometric Tables and bulletins on climate, agrometeorology, atmospheric impurities and rainy seasons will follow. The Central American Meteorological Bulletin was also initiated with the assistance of the Project. A four year bilateral environmental project with Nicaragua was launched in July 1998.
