The objective of the Modernizing the National Meteorological Service to Address Variability and Climate Change in the Water Sector in Mexico (MOMET) Project for Mexico is to strengthen the human resources, institutional, and infrastructure capacity of the National Meteorological Service (SMN) to meet the increasing demand for timely and accurate weather and climate information for the purposes of water resources and disaster risk management in the face of climate change and climate variability. The project has four components. (1) Strengthening institutional capacity and client communications aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of SMN through institutional redesign, human resource recruitment and training, and improved communications with clients. (2) Modernizing observation infrastructure will support the redesign of SMN's observation networks, the installation of modernized infrastructure, and the procurement and use of updated data processing technologies. (3) Improving meteorological forecasts will finance the development and upgrading of SMN’s data assimilation systems and professional capacity in the use of the latest meteorological and climate modeling and forecasting tools. (4) Development of climate regional capacity will support the strengthening of regional capacity to maintain the surrounding observation networks and carry out specialized monitoring and forecasting functions responding to the particular hydrometeorological characteristics and needs of their respective regions and basin organizations.
