1. EXPERIENCE IN DATA ACQUISITION,LRIT IMAGES AND DCS IN GUATEMALA

2. HISTORY OF DCS DATA ACQUISITION IN GUATAMALA SINCE HURRICANE MITCH IN 2000, GUATEMALA PURCHASED BY THROUGH A FIRST DONATION OF HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONS BY USGS. AGATHA STORM THEN DAMAGED ALMOST 75% OF THE STATIONS DUE TO FLOOD THE CURRENTLY WORK THESE 100 BAUD AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLACE DUE TO LACK OF FUNDING. SINCE YEAR 2010 INSIVUMEH HAS STRENGTHENED THE MONITORING NETWORK THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL BCIE-1656 PROJECT FUNDED THROUGH A CENTRAL BANK LOAN OF ECONOMIC INTEGRATION. ALSO PURCHASED EQUIPMENT FOR RECEIPT OF SATELLITE IMAGES FOR LRIT TO MAKE OUR OWN CHARTS. THE YEAR 2012 THE IOC AND UNESCO ENDOWED OF STATION FOR MONITORING OCEANOGRAPHIC CARIBBEAN GUATEMALAN TSUNAMI. IN 2015 THE FIRST S-BAND DUAL POLARITY RADAR FOR MONITORING WEATHER WILL BE COMMISSIONED.

3. CURRENTLY A TOTAL OF 68 HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONS MAKE UP THE AUTOMATIC MONITORING NETWORK INSIVUMEH. INSIVUMEH CURRENTLY USES AS THE MAIN SYSTEM DATA ACQUISITION IN ITS AUTOMATIC STATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION SYSTEM GOES DCS DATA. GPRS REDUNDANT DATA ROUTE ARE STORED IN THE SERVERS POWER SYSTEM IN OUR DATA CENTER OF INSIVUMEH. INSIVUME IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A NATIONAL FORECAST CENTER WITH HIGH TECH EQUIPMENT FOR MONITORING AND ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.
