WACA-VAR

WACA-VAR in the field

It's a fact that West African coastlines are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. They also suffer from a lack of in situ data, which is why WACA-VAR is testing the added value of satellite data for risk assessment. Having just returned from two measurement campaigns, the team is delighted with the excellent correlations with calculations derived from satellite data, enabling them to confidently engage the online visualization tool.
