We present the status of the existing network of weather observation stations in Tanzania. The information collected to assess the challenges that should be addressed when planning to automate and densify this network is presented. We also recommend the possible sites to be considered in the densification process based on meteorological considerations. Furthermore, possible upstream links, necessary to make data from remote stations globally accessible via Internet, are suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
