WaPOR data was used to derive a rough land cover description of the countries in Northern Africa. AGBP and NPP were used as proxy to show the spatial distribution of areas whith higher potential for carbon 

Type: Case study

Location: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia

Application: Understanding spatial variability of water-related and plant activity-related variables

Layers used: AGBP (Above Ground Biomass Production) [no longer offered], NPP (Net Primary Production)

Scale used: 250m

Organization/institution: Sahara and Sahel Observatory

Language: English

WaPOR data was used to derive a rough land cover description of the countries of the Sahel. TBP and NPP were used as proxies to show the spatial distribution of forested areas in the Sahel. 

Type: Case study

Location: Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, Togo

Application: Understanding spatial variability of water-related and plant activity-related variables

Layers used: AGBP (Above Ground Biomass Production) [no longer offered], NPP (Net Primary Production)

Scale used: 250m

WaPOR evapotranspiration data was used to cross-check and complement the AETI data that was compiled by the Rwanda Meteo Agency. The in-situ data had to be estimated because of the poor distribution of stations for data collection across the country and derived from evaporation data using mathematical equations. 

Type: Case study

Location: Rwanda

Application: Assessing/monitoring water resources

Layers used: AETI (Actual Evapotranspiration and Interception)

Scale used: 100m
