The year of recurring disasters: a review of natural disasters in 2012
This report examines four topics: (i) disasters in 2012, with a focus on recurring disasters; (ii) the role of regional organizations in disaster risk management; (iii) wildfires; and (iv) the important role of women in disaster risk management. It highlights the value given by governments and other actors in working together to prevent disasters and, to a lesser extent, to respond to disasters occurring in the region. It also features the development of strong regional initiatives and different mechanisms for encouraging collaboration, including frameworks for disaster risk reduction, regiona ...

ICTs for climate change adaptation in Africa
This report identifies positive and potentially replicable practice in the use of ICTs for climate change adaptation, drawing on case studies in three countries-Senegal, Uganda and Malawi. It explores the barriers, opportunities, implementation risks and challenges concerning the use of ICTs for adaptation to climate change, and assessed the stakeholders involved.
Climate ExChange
Climate ExChange is a fully illustrated 250-page book with over 100 authors relating their work in weather, climate and water services at international, regional, national and local levels. The commentaries draw upon experiences around the world reflecting how people are using climate information to improve their lives. Climate ExChange reflects the progress and challenges in these fields, highlighting good practices in a wide variety of societies and disciplines.
Climate vulnerability monitor
DARA, 2012The Climate Vulnerability Monitor 2nd Edition reveals that climate change has already held back global development and inaction is a leading global cause of death. Harm is most acute for poor and vulnerable groups but no country is spared either the costs of inaction or the benefits of an alternative path.
Commissioned by the world’s most vulnerable countries and backed by high-level and technical panels, the new Monitor estimates human and economic impacts of climate change and the carbon economy for 184 countries in 2010 and 2030, across 34 indicators.

Assessement of selected global models in short range forecasting over West Africa: case study of Senegal
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; ANAMS ; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - WMO, 2011Severe weather events in West Africa are associated mainly with meso-scale thunderstorms and squall lines. Forecasting such severe weather to reduce the risk of hazards is one of the challenges faced by many met services. However, the recent progress in the area of numerical weather prediction has enabled some countries to forecast these events in a better way.
Due to lack of capacity, many of the West African countries were not able to use numerical weather prediction systems effectively in their day to day forecasting activities. The CPC/African Desk has been playing big role in buil ...
Séminaires itinérants pour les paysans sur le temps et le climat – Sénégal : rapport général
OMM, 2009A la demande des Directeurs des Services Météorologiques d’Afrique de l’Ouest, le Gouvernement du Royaume d’Espagne a bien voulu financer un projet dans le domaine de l’agrométéorologie d’un intérêt avéré pour l’ensemble des pays concernés. Le projet ciblé pour cette première se fixe comme objectif, la sensibilisation du monde rural (paysans, éleveurs, maraîchers…) sur les changements climatiques et ses manifestations dans leur terroir et le rôle des services météorologiques dans le développement et la sécurisation de l’agriculture. Cette sensibilisation devait se faire au moyen de séminaires ...

Annexe - Tarage du fleuve Sénégal a Gouina-Amont
Le tarage du Sénégal à GOUINA-Amont est de type univoque, stable et sans anomalie. La station est située à l'amont d'une chute d'une dizaine de mètres de hauteur, donc soumise à un contrôle aval "idéal". De nombreux jaugeages de moyennes eaux ont été réalisés, au cours desquels la pente superficielle a été mesurée. La courbe de moyennes eaux est donc bien définie mais l'extrapolation de 2 500 à 7 000 m3/s est difficile. Cet exemple est extrait du Manuel d'hydrométrie - Tome V (annexe A2).
