Precipitation Estimates
Data: Dekadal precipitation estimates on a 0.1 x 0.1 deg. lat/lon grid
Data Source: Climate Prediction Center/Famine Early Warning System
(CPC/FEWS RFE2.0)*
Epidemiological Mask
Data: Mask illustrating areas where malaria is considered to be epidemic. Areas where malaria transmission is considered absent or endemic are therefore excluded. This mask is based purely on climatic constraints to malaria transmission, and does not yet account for areas in the northern and southern margins of the continent where control has eliminated malaria risk.
