Is there drought to be expected in the coming 1/3/6 months? Which areas are the most affected? Is the situation going to improve/worsen in the coming months?
17 2) SADC THEMA : Drought Activities: Get Products >> Data Exploration Own Open Source Software >> Integrate data rainfall Stations Create Drought & Drought Outlook Maps Report Service Products via EUMETCast / FTP Open-Source Software Training / Help Desk / Support / Forum Final Result: Monthly report Decadal updates
18 2) SADC THEMA : Drought Examples of Products (16): Vegetation performance Maps NDVI difference Long-term average (cumulative) NDVI VCI / SDVI / PASG Rainfall Maps Total cumulative rainfall monthly, seasonal so far Long-term average rainfall Ten-daily Drought Maps/Graphs Drought risk map (Boolean/graded type) Graphs Based on area within polygon where an index is lower than a specific cut-off value
19 2) SADC THEMA : Drought Product: NDVIdavg NDVI Difference map Shows the vegetation deviation from the average over 13y. Calculated as: current NDVI- average NDVI
20 2) SADC THEMA : Drought Product: DR_B An image based on the observed rainfall anomalies coupled with the expected anomalies based on the three-month forecast from the SAWS. Only two values, with areas probably at risk of drought conditions (based on the combination of information) indicated with a value of 1 and the rest with a value of 0. Addis Ababa, May 2011

39 4) Remark#2: Capacity Building Universities have key role in spreading EO knowledge Rx >> Access to NRT data Education purposes Curriculum Development Produce staff for the future Research and Development Thesis / PhD (cheap labor) Future AMESD services Cooperation with their Ministries Validation of products in the field
40 4) Remark#3: Interaction EU Africa experts More Interaction between EU Africa needed EU Researchers have no glue of user needs African users have no glue of available products Regular contacts would be beneficial AU people to go to European Expert workshops (Geoland, etc) EU people to go to African User workshops
41 4) Remark#4: Harmonization More Harmonization is needed Formats, ROI on GEONETCast Metadata Duplication of Products Product Documentation >> Advisory Land Expert Ctee >> Advisory Ocean Expert Ctee
42 4) Remark#5: Datasets Datasets on GEONETCast Some Datasets are not (yet) used Datasets are not based on user needs, but on Researcher Interest More awareness needed in Africa More HR-data desired Not only added-value data, but also L2 data desired MODIS 500m SPOT VGT 10d bands
43 4) Remark#6: Inter Sector Inter-Sector Collaboration Land Ocean Meteo Air - Disaster Univ s - etc National Workshops >> EO Days EO community gatheres for Workshop and/or Training GEONETCast = core technology (driver) Training = data + applications
