Improving Forecasts of African Dust Storms for Oil and Gas Operations

Fugro GEOS和利兹大学正在合作开展一个项目，旨在改善北非能源行业的粉尘预测。该项目将设法利用从挪威环境研究中心赞助的Fennec项目中获得的知识，并将其与欧洲气象卫星应用组织的数据产品、Fugro地球观测系统大气模型和一家国际石油公司提供的现场数据相结合。该项目旨在帮助石油工业降低在北非偏远恶劣气候下作业的风险。

Fugro GEOS and the University of Leeds are collaborating on a project to designed to improve dust forecasting for the Energy industry operating in North Africa. The project will seek to use knowledge derived from the NERC sponsored Fennec project, and to combine this with EUMETSAT data products, Fugro GEOS atmospheric modelling and in-situ data provided by an International Oil Company. The project aims to help the oil industry to reduce risk to its operative working in the remote harsh climate of North Africa.
