Africa Rainfall and Maximum Temperature Measuring Stations (12 average monthly), 1989
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Africa Rain Measuring Stations data set, for monthly rainfall is part of the UNEP/ILRAD, now ILRI East Coast Fever (ECF) Database project.
Description
The point data was reformatted (Miller, scale 1:5 000 000) from CIAT tabular data based on 12 average monthly rainfall, evaporation, and minimum/maximum temperature. The data was used in the calculation of interpolated surfaces for rainfall and temperature distribution as the basis for modeling of climatic stress factors that constrain the distribution of ticks that transfer ECF.
