Drought Monitoring case studies in Africa

This is event is available for participation on an ongoing basis
drought monitoring

On April 11 2023, EO Africa Research & Development Facility will offer an online webinar describing ways to monitor drought events using microwave Earth Observation data. The existing methods for calculating climate normals, anomalies and drought indicators will be described and demonstrated over Africa. The strength and weaknesses of the indicators and an evaluation with common drought indicators such as the Standardized Precipitation Index will be discussed. Furthermore, the use of soil moisture for early-season yield prediction will also be discussed.

Alerting vulnerable communities to extreme weather

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Leeds and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, will focus on providing effective warnings to vulnerable communities that are more likely to be impacted by extreme weather.

Scientists have been awarded £2 million to develop ways of alerting communities in South Africa, Zambia, and Mozambique to extreme weather. The project, a collaboration between researchers at the University of Leeds and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, will focus on providing effective warnings to vulnerable communities that are more likely to be impacted by extreme weather. This includes people living in informal settlements close to rivers and those with disabilities who require early warnings to protect themselves and their property.
