Communication and Data Analysis

The Mandate of our Communication and Data Analytics Division is to collect, process, store and disseminate accurate and adequate meteorological, hydrological, hydrogeological, and water resources data and information. Data is disseminated nationally and internationally. International exchange is via the WMO Global Telecommunication System. The accuracy, usability and timely availability of such data and information depend on the instrument, the observer, the analyst and the processing equipment. The Communication and Data Analyses Division is charged with the upkeep of these instruments and processing equipment. The division is also responsible for the repair and maintenance of the department’s computers, internal and external communication equipment, satellite receivers, instruments used in observation and collection of meteorological, hydrological hydrogeological, agro-meteorological data and laboratory equipment.
