The Foundation for Environment, Climate, and Technology (FECT) project aims at finding extensive climate data and using these to create models that accurately predict the effects of climate change; especially on the tea sector of Sri Lanka. All the data they produce will be freely accessible to other researchers to further research efforts.
A few highlights of the project include:
- Davis Weather Stations are set up at the climate change research centre to continuously accrue data on climate variables
- The research compared data acquired from the air quality monitors at the Queensberry estate and derived that an apparent correlation exists between air quality variance in Norachcholai and Queensberry.
- Data on historical tea production and climate data have been compiled and linked
- An ongoing database of climate data has been initiated, which is intended to expand into a nationwide climate monitoring system
