Statement

Data requirements to use: None;

Data used: The monitoring products for the IGAD region are: - NDVI anomaly (updated for the last two months), Vegetation Anomaly, SPI (updated for the last two months), The long term average rainfall is presented (1981-2015),Rainfall deviation from long-term dataset;

Data format: N/A;

Data access: Website- Arcgis web;


Concise description:

Knowledge management products including databases, Geoportals and Geospatial applications are developed at IGAD Climate Predictions and Applications Centre in order to organize, document, visualize and share (some of) data to member states and partners. This point station data is blended with the satellite data to enhance the quality of the products for the region Due to sparse station networks, the blending of data with satellite improve the spatial representativeness of the areas . The station data are also useful to verify, calibrate and validate some of the climate parameters generated by ICPAC scientists. The website has applications for decision makers such as: Food security integrated phase classification (IPC)


Indices included:

Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), NDVI anomaly
