个人简介
ANDRE KAMGA FOAMOUHOUE
DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE AFRICAN CENTRE OF METEOROLOGICAL APPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT (ACMAD)
His expertise is on forecasting and predictability of Weather and Climate with a long-standing track record providing operational, research, management, and leadership knowledge in meteorology.
Dr Kamga Foamouhoue defended a doctorate thesis in 1999 on the quality of ECMWF operational Medium Range Forecasts over Tropical Africa. He led the evaluation of NCAR CSM projections over West Africa. His publications addressed systematic errors of the ECMWF Medium Range Forecasts over Tropical Africa, evaluation of regional and global climate projection including NCAR Climate System Model, UK Met Office PRECIS, assessment of skill and reliability of seasonal climate forecasts in the Sahelian region, building user interface and new products for climate services in Africa, improving sub-seasonal forecasting to support preparedness action on meningitis outbreak in Africa, forecasts demonstrations and transfer of new methods, tools and products in operational centres.
He managed the Climate Services for Disaster Risks Reduction in Africa project as a part of the EU 10th EDF funded Monitoring of the Environment for Security in Africa Programme from 2014 to 2017.
His career has taken him to NOAA/NCEP Climate Prediction Center as a visiting scientist at the African Desk, UK Met Office Hadley Centre for Regional Climate Modeling with PRECIS, WMO as Scientific Officer (short term) at the Climate Prediction and Adaption Branch of the Climate and Water Department, European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast as the EU funded African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) project Work Package Leader dealing with Forecast Demonstrations and Operational Forecasting Support for the Special Observing Period(SOP) of AMMA during the 2006 African summer monsoon. He was co-chair of the WMO’s World Weather Research Programme /THORPEX Africa Regional Committee and spearheaded the development by a task force of the THORPEX Africa science and implementation plans.
He published in main journals including the Journal of Geophysical Research, the Monthly weather review,
He is also known in the meteorological community for his role coordinating the demonstration phase which supported the designation in 2015 of ACMAD as a full-fledged multifunctional WMO Regional Climate Centre (RCC) for all Africa (the first WMO/RCC in Africa). He led the development of vigilance service for Meningitis epidemics surveillance and control in Africa with WHO”s Multi disease Surveillance Centre using satellite derived dust and near surface humidity. This service is being further developed with the SWIFT project and ClimSA programme.
He is a member of the American Meteorological Society as well as the WMO working groups and Committees including the Earth System Modeling and Prediction Standing Committee.
ACMAD is currently working towards an African continent where all nations are benefiting from a world class operational continental meteorological center to become resilient to extreme events and empowered to support sustainable development with better meteorological services. Filling capacity gaps in NMHSs and regional Centres, improving quality of services for resilience to extremes and adaptation to climate change, strengthening data exchange, research and innovation are key areas of intervention of the Centre.
