PUMA – MSG Project : 47 African countries
Preparation for the Use of Meteosat second generation in Africa
Project financed by Europe and managed by EUMETSAT

COROBOR is proud to be part of the ALCATEL-VCS-COROBOR consortium selected by EUMETSAT, as result of an international competition, to be the supplier of the large PUMA project. PUMA takes full advantage of the METEOSAT-MSG satellite broadcast. PUMA goal is to boost African agricultural output and save lives by providing early-warning weather systems.
The timely information can help warn of natural disasters, improve food security, increase public health management and lead to more efficient uses for water and energy. In addition, climate changes and desertification can be tracked with greater precision.
COROBOR participates to PUMA by providing its MESSIR-VISION “forecaster workstation” software integrating satellite images and “MDD” or “GTS” data (observations, models,....).
MESSIR-VISION software is fed by METEOSAT-MSG satellite broacast.
