The Handbook During the Book Launching

We are pleased to announce the publication in 2017 of a new handbook intended to be the primary reference source for the training of weather forecasters in West Africa and is also suitable for students of tropical meteorology. The book, “Meteorology of Tropical West Africa: the Forecasters' Handbook”, is the product of a 6-year initiative of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) research programme, the African Centre of Meteorological Applications for Development (ACMAD) and WMO's World Weather Research Programme (WWRP). The Handbook does not only document existing good practice in forecasting, it is also an up-to-date textbook of West African monsoon climatology. It will be of value especially to students of tropical meteorology worldwide as it brings together recent research results and weather forecasting methods in the tropics. It could also serve as a template for other regions. Plans are for international agencies to make the Handbook material available to training schools in the West African region in formats suitable for the classroom.
