  • The layer provides the agro-climatic stations located on the Asian coastal areas affected by the Tsunami.

  • Average altitude in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

  • Teff yield in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda. Map presents reference yield estimated through data collection and agricultural statistics.

  • Average terrain-slope characteristics in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

  • Length of growing period in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

  • Annual mean temperature in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

  • This map is part of a series of global climate images produced by the Agrometeorology Group and based on data for mean monthly values of temperature, precipitation and cloudiness prepared in 1991 by R. Leemans and W. Cramer and published by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). For each of the weather stations used data have been assembled over a long time period - usually between 1961 and 1990 - and then averaged.

  • Average annual rainfall in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

  • Major rivers in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

  • The new globally gridded Koeppen climatologies are based on climatological observations (temperature and precipitations) rasterized to grids of 0.5 x 0.5 degrees. They cover 4 different periods and are based on 3 different precipitation datasets. This leads to a total number of 12 rasterized Koeppen climatologies. The 4 different periods are: 1. 1951 - 2000 (all), 2. 1961 - 1990 (norm), 3. 1951 - 1975 (early), 4. 1976 - 2000 (late). Source: Mean annual cycles of temperature are always taken from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU, Mitchell and Jones, 2005). Precipitation is taken from GPCC VASClimO data, based on 9,343 stations that provide at least 90% coverage within 1951-2000 (Beck, Grieser and Rudolf, 2005). All different datasets are converted to the same 0.5 x 0.5 grid, which results from USGS gtopo30. Antarctica and Greenland are left out due to lack of data.
