Climate Monitoring

The African RCC monitors the present state of ocean-land-atmosphere system using different parameters including temperature, precipitation, circulation and convection over Africa and the globe. These parameters are direct measurements from in-situ and satellite observations or derived products from data assimilation systems called analyses or reanalyses. These monitoring products are useful inputs to understanding of and improved knowledge of the past and present-day climate including trends and extremes. There are the basis for climate research and operational Long Range Forecasting. Noting the necessity for homogeneous and consistent datasets for reliable climate monitoring, the African RCC relies on Global analyses and reanalyzes of global Centres.
