The CZO Multiscale TROPIcal CatchmentS (M-TROPICS) consists in the merging, in 2016, of two previously-existing CZOs: BVET (India and Cameroon) and MSEC (Laos and Vietnam). The CZO Multiscale TROPIcal CatchmentS (M-TROPICS) provides the international scientific community with unique decennial time series of meteorological, hydrological, geochemical, and ecological variables in tropical environments. The CZO M-TROPICS involves academic and governmental partners in tropical countries (Cameroun, India, Lao PDR, and Vietnam) and is included in the Research Infrastructure OZCAR, the French contribution to the international CZO initiative.
Using a combination of remote sensing data and ground observations as inputs, CHC scientists have developed rainfall estimation techniques and other resources to support drought monitoring and predict crop performance in parts of the world vulnerable to crop failure. Policymakers within governments and non-governmental organizations rely on CHC decision-support products to make critical resource allocation decisions. The CHC's scientific focus is "geospatial hydroclimatology," with an emphasis on the early detection and forecasting of hydroclimatic hazards related to food-security droughts and floods. Basic research seeks an improved understanding of the climatic processes that govern drought and flood hazards in FEWS NET countries (https://fews.net/). The CHC develops better techniques, algorithms, and modeling applications in order to use remote sensing and other geospatial data for hazards early warning.
