An Israeli research team has deployed a mobile climate lab across East Africa to gather crucial atmospheric data. The truck-mounted laboratory from the Weizmann Institute of Science will measure ecosystem exchanges of carbon dioxide and water vapor, filling a significant data gap in the region. This initiative aims to improve understanding of land-use changes' impact on climate and refine global climate models, with the project expected to last two to three years.
