Drought experts
In-house expertise for
monitoring, forecasting,
impacts, research, planning,

Extensive data networks and
near-real time daily
observations from all three
countries; supplemented by
continental satellite
observations and
modelled data
NDMs in each country already
routinely produced (monthly
or more frequently) and
merged into CDM
Station data exchange for
creation of regional or
continental standardized
indicators
National experts collaborate
to create regional or
continental DM

Web, GIS GoogleMaps, e-mail
Continental monitoring
coordinated by EDO (JRC).
National expert network to
support development
Nations on the continent
request experts from outside
to create regional or
continental DMs that are
run in-house
Station data from Global
Telecommunication System
(GTS) and other sources,
forecasting data from ECMWF.
Common drought indices
for multi-scale asssessment,
mutual exchange of knowledge.
Local indicators accessible
through EDO
Station data from GTS and
CLIMAT transmissions are
used for real-time data;
historical data are from
GHCN and similar
complications
Continental assessment
done at EC-Joint Research
Centre (JRC), complemented
by regional, national and
local (eg river basin)
assessments where available.
The latter are accessible
through EDO
No currently existing NDM
assessments (NDM
assessments do not go into
the continental assessment)
Extensive data networks
providing near-real time daily
observations (>30 countries)
supplemented by satellite
observations and
modelled data
Extensive data networks and
near-real time daily
observations for some
nations (more satellite
observations than in
situ observations for
most regions)
In-house expertise for
continental monitoring,
forecasting, impacts,
research, planning, education.
Combined with regional,
national and local expertise
External expertise for
monitoring, forecasting,
coupled with in-house
expertise for impacts,
research, planning, education
National climate
