Abstract
With its high dependence on agriculture, Africa is notoriously sensitive to the consequences of unusually low or erratic rainfall. An overall view of the changing meterological situation is an important element in taking timely remedial action but the contributions of conventional field observation stations is quite inadequate. Latterly, however, the situation has been transformed with the advent of meteorological satellites capable of continuous systematic monitoring of the dynamics of vegetation growth over large areas.
