Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Weather data grids for agiculture risk management : the case of Honduras and Guatemala

Publication: Washington : World Bank, [2013]Physical description: 34 p. ; 28 cmNotes: Sumario: One of the majar constraints for the improvement of agricultura! risk management in Central America, and in particular to the development of weather index-based insurance, is the availability of complete meteorological data. Limitations with the data are related to restrictions in weather station coverage (density), and problems with the quality (errors and gaps in the information) and availability of historical records. This paper evaluates the reconstruction of historical meteorological records with gridded datasets for Honduras and Guatemala using the methodology in Uribe Alcantara et al. (2009)Materia / lugar / evento: Gerencia de riesgos Seguros agrarios Riesgos meteorológicos Influencia climática Modelos probabílisticos Honduras Guatemala Otros autores: World Bank
