Abstract: Real-time rainfall monitoring in Africa is of great practical importance for operational applications in hydrology and agriculture. Satellite data have been used in this context for many years because of the lack of surface ...

Abstract: Operational, real-time rainfall estimation on a daily timescale is potentially of great benefit for hydrological forecasting in African river basins. Sparseness of ground-based observations often means that only methodologies ...

Abstract: A mosaic-type parameterization of subgrid-scale topography and land use (SubBATS) is applied for a high-resolution regional climate simulation over the Alpine region with a regional climate model (RegCM3). The model ...

Abstract: ecause of their dependence on water, natural and human systems are highly sensitive to changes in the hydrologic cycle. The authors introduce a new measure of hydroclimatic intensity (HY-INT), which integrates metrics of ...

Abstract: he Mediterranean is expected to be one of the most prominent and vulnerable climate change ?hotspots? of the twenty-first century, and the physical mechanisms underlying this finding are still not clear. Furthermore, complex ...
