Flagship Activities

Activities

Concrete, partner-supported activities that bring the CLI-MET vision to life, producing tangible outcomes for the region.

I
EUMETCast Terrestrial Data Portal Deployment & Training
Deploying and operationalising terrestrial EUMETCast receiving stations at National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, and providing training to ensure effective use of satellite-derived Earth Observation data across the WACREN region.
Satellite · Data Access
II
Open Climate & Agriculture Data Design Sprints
Collaborative design sprints co-organised with EUMETSAT, WASCAL, ICTP, RUFORUM, and AfriGEO, bringing together meteorologists, agronomists, data scientists, and policymakers to develop open, actionable climate and agricultural data products for the region.
Agriculture · Open Data
III
Regional Climate Research Connectivity & HPC Integration
Connecting national and regional climate research centres to high-performance computing infrastructure through WACREN's high-speed backbone, enabling regional climate modelling, seasonal forecasting, and shared computing resources for complex climate simulations.
HPC · Connectivity
IV
IoT & WMO-Compliant Environmental Monitoring Station Network
Deployment of LoRaWAN-enabled, WMO-compliant automatic weather and environmental monitoring stations at WACREN-connected institutions, producing continuous, ground-truth observations that feed regional climate platforms.
IoT · Weather Stations
