CLIVAR VACS African Climate Atlas
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
This data set consists of observed climate data on the 0.5 degree grid from the New et al. (1999) and New et al. (2000) climatology.
Description
Rainfall data on the 2.5 x 3.75 grid is the Hulme (1994) data set. Mean and standard deviation are also available.
Data coverage is for: Global (90 N - 90 S, -180 W - 180 E) Tropics (40 N - 40 S, -180 W - 180 E) Africa (40 N - 40 S, 30 W - 55 E) North Africa (40 N - 10 N, 20 W - 55 E) West Africa (25 N - 2 S, 20 W - 40 E) Central Africa (10 N - 20 S, 5 E - 40 E) East Africa (15 N - 15 S, 20 E - 53 E) Southern Africa (0 S- 38 S, 10 E - 52 E) Climatology data can be accessed, viewed and plotted here: & geog.ox.ac.uk/ &
