Historical owerviev
State meteorological service:
- 1892 – 1914- 1923 – 1941- 1946 – 1996
Federal hydro meteorological institute B&H - 1997 – 2007
Hydro meteorological institute of Republic Serbska- 1992 – 2007
Meteorological stations
- 1892 – 1913 – about 70 meteorological stations (with climatological program)
- 1923 – 1941 – about 120 meteorological stations (70 with climatological program and 50 rain gauge stations)
- 1946 – 1996 – about 600 meteorological stations (100 with climatological program and 500 rain gauge stations)
- Most stations had longer interruptions: 1914 – 1922; 1942 – 1945; 1992 – 1996.
Meteorological stations today
- 13 synoptic stations- 40 climatic stations- 20 rain gauge stations
Sarajevo record is only uninterupted record from 1888 to 2007.
Meteorological station in Sarajevo is in the same place since 1902.
Other meteorological stations are built about 1950.
Homogenisation of records
- 5 stations – DHMZ Croatia, within HISTALP project
- Other stations – not included
Meteo Data rescue activities
- Softwares in development:
CLIDATA
ORACLE
- Currently used softwares:
EXCEL
- Percentage of digitized meteorological data:
about 40%
Conclusion:
Permanent import of actual data into this base begun at the beginning of this year and still lasts.
Historical data from EXCEL were imported to CLIDATA.
Our next assignments are expert training in work with ORACLE, and expanding of hardware support.
