Isohyets of annual rainfall map of Africa
Listed in DataSuds
Result of a long experience in cooperation with the African meteorological departments and of the management of data bases, this map displays the annual rainfalls over a 60-year period.
Description
Maps representing rainfall over the whole African continent are rare, and a map dealing with observed rainfall over such a long period has never been released. Measurements of almost 6,000 raingauges were used for the calculation of mean values.
This dataset contains in shapefiles format ArcGis : 1-isohyets of the annual Rainfall Map of Africa 2-isohyets that show the shifting of the isohyetal lines on the small map . Grids of rainfall at a step of half square degree and at a monthly time step are provided on the website of SIEREM (Environmental Information System for Water Resources and Modelling).
