NASA’s Precipitation Measurement Missions – TRMM and GPM – provide advanced information on rain and snow characteristics and detailed three-dimensional knowledge of precipitation structure within the atmosphere, which help scientists study and understand Earth's water cycle, weather and climate.
SLAPIS is an integrated Flood Early Warning System that aims to promote decision-making and behavioral changes from reactive to proactive at several levels, from the community to the administration, for the reduction of flood risk in the Communes of the Sirba (main tributary of the Niger River and cause of the main floods in the region)
Using a combination of remote sensing data and ground observations as inputs, CHC scientists have developed rainfall estimation techniques and other resources to support drought monitoring and predict crop performance in parts of the world vulnerable to crop failure. Policymakers within governments and non-governmental organizations rely on CHC decision-support products to make critical resource allocation decisions. The CHC's scientific focus is "geospatial hydroclimatology," with an emphasis on the early detection and forecasting of hydroclimatic hazards related to food-security droughts and floods. Basic research seeks an improved understanding of the climatic processes that govern drought and flood hazards in FEWS NET countries (https://fews.net/). The CHC develops better techniques, algorithms, and modeling applications in order to use remote sensing and other geospatial data for hazards early warning.

The main focus of tambora.org is Historical Climatology. Years of meticulous work in this field in research groups around the world have resulted in large data collections on climatic parameters such as temperature, precipitation, storms, floods, etc. with different regional, temporal and thematic foci. tambora.org enables researchers to collaboratively interpret the information derived from historical sources. It provides a database for original text quotations together with bibliographic references and the extracted places, dates and coded climate and environmental information.
