Assessment of biophysical
and hydrological variables in
semiarid West Africa based on MSG data and numerical
modeling
Principle Investigators: Rasmussen, K., I. Sandholf,
J. Qi,
and C. Watts. EC (European Commissions)
This project focuses on the development of models to
characterize vegetation and hydrological conditions
in a semiarid to subhumid environment in West
Africa. This will be done using SEVIRS data from the
MSG in combination with data from other satellites
and ancillary data. The study is a continuation of
the ongoing research on using NOAA-AVHRR data as the
primary data source for net primary production
assessment and hydrological modeling in the Senegal
River basin.
