DHN Presence at Olympic and Paralympic Games Rio 2016

摘要

The Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation (DHN) is accredited in Brazil to run the Hydrographic Service and the Marine Meteorological Service (SMM). The SMM is operated by the DHN's Navy Hydrographic Center (CHM), which is located at Ponta da Armacao Naval Complex (CNPA), Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro. Following the adoption of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS, 1974), the Brazilian government assigned SMM with the responsibility of issuing daily weather bulletins, and severe weather warnings when appropriate, for the whole maritime area under the responsibility of Brazil.
