Components of rainy seasons’ variability in Equatorial East Africa: onset, cessation, rainfall frequency and intensity
(SpringerMeteorology, 2009)The inter-annual and spatia lvariability of different rainfall variables is analysed over Equatorial East Africa (Kenya and northeastern Tanzania). At the station level, three variables are considered: the total ... -
Rainfall pattern and nutrient content influences on African elephants’ debarking behaviour in Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves, Kenya
(2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Afr. J. EcolSchool of biological sciences, 2011)The magnitude of debarking by elephants was investigated in Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves.

Spatial coherence and potential predictability assessment of intraseasonal statistics of wet and dry spells over Equatorial Eastern Africa
(Royal Meteorological SocietyMeteorology, 2012)The aim of this study was to derive components of the intraseasonal rainfall variations from the daily rainfall in the Equatorial Eastern Africa region and assess their spatial coherence, a pointer to their potential ...
