EUMETCast – Africa: status & approach
• EUMETCast available over Africa since ~2004
• Bandwidth: 2.55Mbps net (3.6 Mbps raw data rate)
• Around 250 users, with 300-400 stations
• Types of users:• National meteo services, regional/continental climate services (ICPAC, ACMAD, etc.)
• Regional entities, often with training mandates (AGRHYMET, RCMRD, etc.)
• MoA, MoE and related national entities, UN branch offices
• Fire management services (e.g. AFIS)
• Universities and research centers
• Private people and private sector (few)
• Demand-driven: real policy and user needs
• Capacity building projects
• User ownership
• Long-term commitment and sustainability
