Description

Argentina expanded its meteorological network with a new observatory in Córdoba on 6 April 1871. The facility recorded temperature, rainfall, and atmospheric pressure. Its data helped improve early weather forecasts throughout central Argentina. Researchers used the site to study regional climate patterns. The observatory also supported agricultural planning during seasonal changes. Over time, it became part of a nationwide system of meteorological stations. Its founding strengthened Argentina’s scientific capabilities in climate observation.
