Mapping Zambia's mean annual rainfall using satellite data - By Arthur Chapman

The presentation describes the creation of a national mean annual rainfall map for Zambia using satellite data (TAMSAT in this case). The presentation discusses topics of data manipulation and the processes of data transformation across various formats. The presentation's focus on how terrain and land use affect mean yearly rainfall is particularly noteworthy. The climate above the land surface is influenced by its features and cover. Other aspects of satellite data's utility for rainfall mapping are briefly reviewed, as well as the many types of satellite data sources and their benefits and disadvantages.
