Since water is increasingly scarce in arid East Africa, the region’s scientists and engineers have an ongoing need to know about the latest satellite precipitation data and information systems. Experts from UCI’s Center for Hydrometeorology & Remote Sensing traveled to Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, in July to host workshops for government meteorologists and researchers from institutions in member states of the East African Community. Soroosh Sorooshian, UCI Distinguished Professor of civil & environmental engineering, instructed participants on the capabilities of the UCI-developed Precipitation Estimation From Remotely Sensed Information Using Artificial Neural Networks system.
