Il est admis que le temps; le climat, l\u2019eau et les conditions environnementales connexes ont une forte influence sur le d\u00e9veloppement socio-\u00e9conomique des Pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Services M\u00e9t\u00e9orologique, \u00e9l\u00e9ments fondamentaux de l\u2019infrastructure des pays, jouent donc un r\u00f4le crucial. Celui de soutien aux fonctions vitales assur\u00e9es par les gouvernements. Ils participent amplement \u00e0 l\u2019atteinte des objectifs de d\u00e9veloppement durable de m\u00eame qu\u2019\u00e0 la r\u00e9duction des risques de catastrophes. L\u2019information m\u00e9t\u00e9orologique est une mesure de r\u00e9silience qui permet de r\u00e9duire la vuln\u00e9rabilit\u00e9 des populations. Elle permet \u00e9galement de participer \u00e0 la protection des personnes et des biens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au vu de l\u2019importance de l\u2019information m\u00e9t\u00e9orologique, disposer d\u2019un syst\u00e8me optimal pour la gestion et la diffusion des donn\u00e9es m\u00e9t\u00e9orologique\u00a0serait tr\u00e8s b\u00e9n\u00e9fique .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I- Project context:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le Cameroun, Pays membre de l\u2019OMM, s\u2019est engag\u00e9 \u00e0 assurer sa contribution totale \u00e0 la veille m\u00e9t\u00e9orologique mondiale VMM. Mettant ainsi en place au niveau national un dispositif ad\u00e9quat. La Direction de la m\u00e9t\u00e9orologie Nationale (DMN) du Minist\u00e8re des Transports, est charg\u00e9e de l\u2019\u00e9laboration et de la mise en \u0153uvre de la politique du gouvernement en mati\u00e8re de m\u00e9t\u00e9orologie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its mission, MND collects, processes and archives data on meteorological parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019\u00e9laboration des pr\u00e9visions m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques fiables, et la fourniture des donn\u00e9es et informations sur le climat. Visant le secteurs de la protection civile, de l\u2019agriculture, des ressources en eau, des travaux publics, de l\u2019am\u00e9nagement du territoire et bien d\u2019autres. Cela n\u00e9cessite un dispositif efficient de collecte, de centralisation et d\u2019exploitation des donn\u00e9es m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To better monitor climatic variations and make the right decisions, it is essential to set up a network of meteorological observations and a modern climatological data bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial situation<\/strong> national meteorological service<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The national meteorological network, which has existed for several decades, has become dilapidated and under-equipped in recent years. Many of the devices used to centralize data had become inoperative. In view of technological advances, it is important not only to equip this network, but also to put in place more efficient devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In view of the decisive contribution of meteorological data to decision-making on development issues, le Minist\u00e8re des transports<\/a><\/strong> previously embarked on a major project to digitize Cameroon's climate archives, with a view to building a modern database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, which came to an end in 2020, was commended by the World Meteorological Organization. The database now serves as Cameroon's climatic memory, providing information on climate trends over more than a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, due to the lack of modern tools and the absence of a more robust and efficient data management system, data exploitation and dissemination suffer from major shortcomings. There is therefore a pressing need to update this important government program, and to set up a weather watch system capable of integrating new technologies to collect quality data and provide reliable forecasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II- Modernization of national meteorology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Project objectives :<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the aim of substantially reducing the negative effects of weather-related disasters, and exploiting meteorology as a lever for development, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has launched a major project called modernization of national meteorology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFREETECH has been selected to support the MINPOSTEL<\/strong> dans cette initiative qui s\u2019\u00e9tendra sur deux phases. Le but est d\u2019\u00e9quiper la Direction M\u00e9t\u00e9orologique Nationale, renforcer la collecte et la fourniture des donn\u00e9es et informations m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques. ceci dans le but de\u00a0:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
