Abstract

In the 1930s, the installation of an agrometeorological network began in fields assigned to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAC). FONAIAP, now INIA, has been in charge of this agrometeorological network since 1961. It is the same one that currently has 23 conventional stations equipped with instruments to measure agrometeorological elements and 21 automatic stations of different models ELE Cumulu, Imetos and HL20.
