UConn and NMA sign an MoU
UConn and the National Meteorological Services Agency (NMA) of Ethiopia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Currently, available weather technologies for information on hydro-metrological events in Ethiopia are satellites and rain gauges. However, the uncertainty of forecasting remains high and the technologies require further improvement. To address this knowledge gap, experts from both institutions will collaborate to explore techniques to provide accurate precipitation forecasts and develop radar-rainfall estimation techniques for the NMA weather radar in the Blue Nile Basin of Ethiopia.
The MoU signing heralds the beginning of a viable partnership between UConn and the NMA and this ultimately may usher to a new and innovative areas of cooperation to improve forecast services in the Blue Nile Basin and beyond.
