Graphical Binnacle u A graphical binnacle displays the processed images. Each dot indicate a processed image and its size indicates the number of storms.
Web page u A web page was designed and instaled in the same server nimbus, in which EPPrePMex is running in IMTA´s Offices. u Its adress is u It is working since the summer 1999.
Evaluation u NOAA comparison u Site comparison u Basin comparison
Evaluation u In 1998 the NOAA has made a comparison of estimated (Autoestimator and EPPrePMex) and measured daily accumulated rainfalls for Southern Texas
Evaluation Correlation between EPPrePMex estimations & RFCwide stations measurements of daily rainfall for July-Oct 1999
