Fennec is a large-scale, international, multi-institutional, multi-platform, observational, modelling and satellite climate program in the Saharan Heat Low region (southern Algeria, eastern Morocco, Northern Mauritania, Northern Mali and Northern Niger). The Saharan Heat Low is a key component of the West African Monsoon and is the location of the largest mineral aerosol loadings on the planet in the northern summer. The inhospitable, vast area of the Heat Low has virtually no routine meteorological observations. Knowledge of the key atmospheric processes in this important region is therefore very limited and this knowledge deficit results in reduced performance of both weather and climate prediction in and well beyond the north/west African region. The Fennec project is designed to address this knowledge deficit. It is the first major climate program in the central Sahara. The ideas for Fennec, which is a British, French and German initiative, grew out of the African Multidisciplinary Monsoon Analysis (AMMA). Fennec is the project name – it is not an acronym.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=R )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=R )〕 == Fennec goals == Broad Fennec goals include: *A new and definitive data set for central Sahara from aircraft, ground, model and satellite observations *Characterisation of thermodynamic, dynamic and compositional structure of central Sahara’s atmosphere *A quantitative assessment of weather prediction and climate model errors and how these can be reduced *The mechanisms of dust emission, transport and radiative forcing from the planet’s largest summer source 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fennec (climate program)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
