Purpose | IEDRO's mission is to identify, scan and digitize environmental data at risk of loss. Data on paper and film formats are owned by the respective meteorological organizations. IEDRO staff format data files and package the data for submission to the archive. This data will be of tremendous value to scientists who research various phenomena including global climate change, hindcast studies, climate model evaluation, and statistical climate analysis. Applications of this work include, but are not limited to agricultural, hydrologic, energy, and economic policies. |

Lineage Statement | In April of 2012 IEDRO visited the Bolivian National Meteorological Service (SENAMHI) in La Paz to initiate IEDRO's 15th data rescue and digitization project. A computer system was purchased and installed along with a stand to mount the camera for digitizing books. Between July 2012 and September 2013, IEDRO personnel began receiving surface data images from Bolivia. |
