Agrilinks features CHC's Early Estimates in "Climate Hazards Center Early Estimates and the East Africa March-to-May 2019 Drought."
The Climate Hazards Center (CHC) has been using the CHC Early Estimates for agroclimatological monitoring and forecast-plus-observation rainfall scenarios since late 2018. The CHC Early Estimates are regional maps that show rainfall conditions for multiple accumulation periods, which are useful for agroclimatic monitoring. They combine the latest-available CHIRPS precipitation estimates and unbiased 15-day rainfall forecasts based on NCEP Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) weather forecasts, downscaled by the CHC.
