• Meteorological weak (only 11 stations in the country)
• Lack of a research plan
• Zero teaching (2 meteorologists university level).
1965: Creation of the Institute of Meteorology. (Fusion of the
National Observatory and the Department of Meteorology
at the ACC. September 2).
1968: Graduation of the first course of Meteorologists.
1969: Consolidation of the new Station Network; Inauguration
Satellite 1st season. (March 23).
1987: Application and development of computing. Consolidation of
the Radar Network
2000: Verticalization of INSMET (National Character).
2003: New career in Meteorology.

Under the order of the Commander in Chief,
Meteorology is inserted into the 2004 Battle of
Ideas Program. Initial objectives:
• Modernising Weather Stations Network;
• Improve Communications and Web site;
• Improving weather presentations on TV;
• Create a prototype Doppler radar.
• Acquisition of 70 automatic
stations;
• Viewing the data of the EMA;
• Development of communication
programs, synchronization of files
and automatic transmission;
• Creating Web application to
control and access to information
1. The Dopplerización Technology;
2. Numerical modeling, mesoscale forecasting and
early warning of TLS.
3. The forecast Local and state filing time;
4. The conversion of the measurement stations in
centers and integrated weather information
dissemination at the municipal level;
