NASA plans to set up a weather research station in Cape Verde which will study the impact of African monsoons on the world’s climate during one year, the Lusa news agency reported Tuesday citing a local official.
A technical team from the US space agency is in the west African archipelago to assess the best location to set up the station, the head of Cape Verde’s Meteorological and Geophysical Institute, Pimenta Lima, told the agency.
Uh, it should be pretty good duty, too.
What information could Cape Verde give them about Africa’s weather that couldn’t be better gathered by satellite and scattered stations around the continent?
