As part of an ongoing satellite climatology effort with the Regional Meteorological Training Center, satellite imagery (all five GOES-8 imager channels) for March, April, and May 1999 were sent to Costa Rica.  The imagery are being used to generate cloud frequency composites to help address seasonal and topographical precipitation variations across the country.  The imagery are also being used in conjunction with model output for student projects such as seasonal tracking of the Intertropical Convergence Zone

An example of the satellite composite/climatology work being done in Costa Rica can be seen at:
