Abstract Africa is poised for a revolution in the quality and relevance of weather predictions, with potential great benefits terms human economic security. This will be driven by recent international progress nowcasting, numerical prediction, theoretical tropical dynamics, forecast communication, but depend on suitable scientific investment being made. The commercial sector has recognized this opportunity new products are made available to African stakeholders. At time, it vital that robust...
Abstract In tropical convective climates, where numerical weather prediction of rainfall has high uncertainty, nowcasting provides essential alerts extreme events several hours ahead. principle, short-term intense storms could benefit from knowledge the slowly evolving land surface state in regions soil moisture controls fluxes. Here we explore how near-real time (NRT) satellite observations and clouds can be combined to aid early warning severe Sahel on scales up 12 h. Using temperature...
Abstract Testbeds have become integral to advancing the transfer of knowledge and capabilities from research operational weather forecasting in many parts world. The first high-impact testbed tropical Africa was recently carried out through African Science for Weather Information Forecasting Techniques (SWIFT) program, with participation researchers forecasters Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, United Kingdom, international pan-African organizations. aims were trial new nowcasting products...
