CaribClimate Podcast Ep. 13 - Weathering climate impacts through data – Part 2
Manage episode 318598923 series 3291121
Weathering climate impacts through data requires climate monitoring equipment for adaptation planning. Increased availability of climate monitoring infrastructure results in greater collection of climate data which expands the region’s network.
In this episode Senior Lecturer and Hydrologist at the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology, Dr. Jonathan Cox, further details the installation of automatic weather and hydrology stations across the PPCR countries. This process supported the development of climate products and services addressing socioeconomic priorities in the face of climate change.
The CaribClimate Podcast has been commissioned by the Caribbean Regional PPCR. A 5-year, 10.9 Million USD project funded by the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and administered by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), through the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Office of Research and Innovation (MORI).
