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.
