Modernization of the Mexican hydrometeorological monitoring system
The modernization of the [Mexican] National Meteorological Service (SMN) is based on four principal areas: data gathering, processing, dissemination and storage. This paper describes in general the rationale behind such a modernization, and presents in detail the procedures followed for improving weather monitoring through climatological stations and meteorological radars. In this field, the main activities have been the optimal design of a network of automatic and telemetric climatological stations, and the location of new meteorological radar stations. The climatological network was designed through Kriging, a geostatistical approach that minimizes the variance of the estimation error; in this case, of rainfall that occurred in the historically most severe storms. The location of radar stations followed a heuristic procedure in such a manner that the greatest area can be covered. Both data measuring systems, together with rawindsondes and satellite images, are the core of the modernization and constitute the initiation of a new epoch in the National Meteorological Service.
