Descripción
Strong rainfalls related to tropical storms, frequently, cause landslides and inundations in Central America. In the region, meteorological stations are sparse and weather radars do not exist. Thus, any alternative information is highly welcome to institutions responsible for monitoring, and early warning as meteorological and geosciences agencies, emergency commissions and local authorities. A software system was developed to present in near real time estimates for strong precipitation provided by the experimental Hydroestimator (NESDIS/NOAA). The data are displayed, using GIS-applications, both as interactive map service, and on simple html-pages to satisfy different groups of users and considering the INTERNET band widths available...
