Dominican weather department director (ONAMET) Gloria Ceballos has announced the installation of the SmartMet weather briefing and monitoring system.
This is a donation from the Finland Meteorological Institute (FMI). The new information system ensures more accurate forecasts by analyzing weather conditions in general and helping to demonstrate and assess risks associated with severe phenomena. “The atmosphere, from the ground to the sky is important for weather predictors,” she said. This tool is to determine the seriousness of phenomena, including tropical hurricanes,” said Ceballos.
The system has also been installed in Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and Antigua for intercommunicating the Caribbean and sharing data.
