Meterology, Climatology and Hydrology (MCH) is a database management system (DBMS) *
based on open source database and software.
*“A
Data Base Management System (DBMS) is a computer program (or more typically,
a suite of them) designed to manage a database, a large set of structured
data, and run operations on the data requested by numerous users.” (source
:From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
The System, developed by Mexico and adapted by the Programme of
Cooperation for the Iberoamerican National Meteorological and Hydrological
Services (NMHSs), has been transferred to WMO in 2011.
Originally developed in Spanish, the whole software has been translated
into English and French.
MCH can be used on a single computer (stand alone configuration) or in a
network configuration. It allows also to connect automatic stations and
gather real time data.
