Eritrea Image Archive Research Index Research in Progress: Miscellaneous Work Plan Site Statistics CV of RVB About ETE Wind Instrument Set-up @ Debresina Scientific Data for Development: This site provides the latest, highest resolution, Internet-accessible maps and data on the Eritrean climate, environment, geography, energy resources, meteorology and information services. This site is intended as a resource for Eritrean planners, students, researchers, agriculturalists, meteorologists, and investors. It is hoped that with easily accessible, accurate data, Eritreans can plan and implement more effective and beneficial development projects and business investments. Ultimately through more effective and efficient public and private investment both Eritrea's national development and the Eritrean people as a whole will benefit. Accurate Eritrea-specific Models: This data is produced from country-specific research that utilizes publicly accessible satellite data and geographic modeling techniques that optimize resolution and accuracy. The methods employed in this research are cheap and easy from a technical point of view, but they provide increased accuracy for the resulting esitmates. The increased accuracy results from the fact that the correlations and models are calibrated specifically for Eritrea. This allows estimates of the relevant parameters to be much more detailed than data derived from more general regional maps and estimates. Furthermore the data contained at this site is produced by researchers who have lived and worked in Eritrea for several years. This familiarity with Eritrean conditions allows the geographic models to be more efficently customized for the Eritrean case. | |
