Performance of Automatic Weather Stations in Kenya K. I. Essendi Kenya Meteorological Department Kenya

AUTOMATIC WEATHER STATIONS u Mtwapa-Coast (Indian Ocean) u Dagoretti Corner -Nairobi (Central) u Kibos-Nyanza (Western Kenya)

Comparison 1 - MTWAPA

Comparison 2 - Dagoretti Corner (Nairobi)

DAGORETTI 12Z

Comparison 3 - KIBOS

Conclusions u The three automatic weather stations proved to be consistent in the measurements and transmissions. The data compared well with that of the co-located manned stations. u For Kibos and Mtwapa the minimum temperature and daily rainfall problems can be addressed. u More stations can be deployed after some similar tests.
