This Project is focused on mesoscale climate variability of Caribbean and African regions using existing operatinal datasets to understand processes and improve analysis and forecasts. The specific themes include: a) Antilles Island weather and climate, b) hydrology, vegetation and surface fluxes, c) air pollution meteorology and climate change, d) coastal and upper ocean variability, and d) understanding Caribbean and African floods, drought and socio-economic impacts. The themes underpin research by the project leader and meteorology students at UPRM.
