How Satellites Track a Mass Killer Prevalence of malaria in West Africa. Numerical models analyse malaria data with environmental factors such as climate, altitude, vegetation cover, agro-ecological zones which are Source: Processed by Dr. D. Ghent, University of Leicester, UK also derived from satellite maps. Source: MARA ARMA The daytime land surface temperature over Africa. Land surface temperature acts directly both on the breeding cycle of mosquito as well as the development of the Plasmodium parasite. Thus, surface temperature is thought to be directly related to increased risk for malaria. Networks ∙ Services ∙ People www. geant. org 12
Copernicus – Support for Weather Predictions - sea-surface temperature over the Atlantic: blue areas - coldest & red - warmest - accuracy of a few tenths of a degree. Source: ECMWF The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is a worldwide leading international organisation that develops and operates global models and data-assimilation systems to predict the behaviour of the atmosphere in the medium range and also up to longer periods of time by using probabilistic techniques. Every day, its powerful computing systems assimilate in near real-time over 12 millions of observation data from about 60 different satellites and from various ground networks.
