Audio Report: Climate Research to boost agriculture and livelihoods

Ghana is one of two countries in West Africa to host supersites for a major research to develop a comprehensive dataset for the next generation of weather and climate models.

Benin is the other country involved in the three-year project funded by the European Union at a cost of 7million euros.

The surface observations to be made at the supersites include a ceilometer to measure cloud top and base heights, a sounding system for launching balloons with radiosondes, a weather station and other instruments to measure surface radiometric properties and atmospheric composition.
