By Zoila Palma: Today, the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) handed over three advanced stations to the National Meteorological Services (NMS).
Ronald Gordon, Chief Meteorologist of the National Meteorological Services (NMS), accepted the three advanced stations from Courtney Forde, who leads the CIMH mission in Belize.
Each system is equipped with SOFAR weather monitoring buoys, floats, moorings, integrated sensors, anchors, and a suite of mooring accessories, altogether valued at BZ$66,000.
These stations will soon stand guard at key sites: English Caye, Glover’s Reef, and the Southern Turneffe Atoll.
“With this cutting-edge technology, the NMS can now keep a vigilant eye on vital marine and atmospheric conditions, from wave characteristics and sea temperatures to wind and atmospheric pressure,” a statement from the Government noted.
