  1. THE USE OF GOES DATA AT THE NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF COSTA RICA By Rosario Alfaro

  2. MITCH PROJECT • The server with the satellite imagery is located at the IMN of Costa Rica • All Central American weather services have access to the data • A software developed by CIRA makes the data available every half an hour in a very friendly way to be used by the forecasters.

  3. DATA • Visible, IR (10.7 um) and water vapor imagery are constantly used at the forecast office. • Channel 5 (12.0 um) has not been used and channel 2 (3.9 um) will be used in the near future

  4. Current applications • The forecast office do not have any rain gauge data in real time at this moment • A precipitation algorithm developed by NESDIS is running in “real” time with the satellite images from the server at the IMN • Accumulated precipitation estimates in “real” time for the current time, the last 24, 6, 3 and 1 hour are available.

  6. Future applications • A fire algorithm: visible and 3.9 um imagery used. • POES imagery would be an important tool at this respect because of the higher resolution • The GMSRA algorithm: five channel imagery used. How the change in satellite can affect this aplication?

  7. Aviation operations • The airports in Costa Rica don’t have the software available at IMN. • Communication IMN-airports: from 5 a.m to 7 p.m • Imagery from the server is not available at the airports, it will be in the near future.
