Abstract: he Ethiopian portion of the Blue Nile River basin is subject to significant interannual variability in precipitation. As this variability has implications for local food security and transboundary water resources, numerous ...

Abstract: his paper examines the factors governing rainfall variability in western equatorial Africa (WEA) during the April?June rainy season. In three of the five regions examined some degree of large-scale forcing is indicated, ...

Abstract: his paper examines the mechanisms controlling the year-to-year variability of rainfall over western equatorial Africa during the rainy season of October?December. Five regions with distinct behavior are analyzed separately. ...

Abstract: of historical information on climate and weather exists for the African continent. Documentary information, hydrologic indicators, and rain gauge records have been compiled and combined into a semiquantitative precipitation ...

Abstract: his study examines daily precipitation data during December?March over south equatorial Africa (SEA) and proposes a new zonal asymmetric pattern (ZAP) that explains the leading mode of weather-scale precipitation variability ...

Abstract: AbstractUsing in situ data, three precipitation classes are identified for rainy seasons of West and East Africa: weak convective rainfall (WCR), strong convective rainfall (SCR), and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). ...

Abstract: ainfall variability in the Tigris?Euphrates headwaters is a result of interaction between topography and meteorological features at a range of spatial scales. Here, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model, driven ...

Abstract: any studies have documented dramatic climatic and environmental changes that have affected Africa over different time scales. These studies often raise questions regarding the spatial extent and regional connectivity of ...
