Spatial coherence and potential predictability assessment of intraseasonal statistics of wet and dry spells over Equatorial Eastern Africa
(Royal Meteorological Society, 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 ...
Trends of intraseasonal descriptors of wet and dry spells over equatorial eastern Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
Many African countries whose economies are largely based on weather/climate sensitive sectors are vulnerable to long‐term changes in weather and climate. This study is aimed at assessing whether the recent decades have ...
Oceanic and atmospheric linkages with short rainfall season intraseasonal statistics over Equatorial Eastern Africa and their predictive potential
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Despite earlier studies over various parts of the world including equatorial Eastern Africa (EEA) showing
that intraseasonal statistics of wet and dry spells have spatially coherent signals and thus greater predictability ...
Components of rainy seasons’ variability in Equatorial East Africa: onset, cessation, rainfall frequency and intensity
(Springer, 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 ...
Spatial Interpolation Of Daily Rainfall Stochastic Generation Parameters Over East Africa.
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Downscaling seasonal rainfall predictions to daily time-scale, for crop yield simulation for instance, can be performed using stochastic generators (SGs). The spatial interpolation of the SG parameters is required to ...
Intraseasonal oscillations of the East African long rains and their connection with MJO activity over the Indian Ocean
(2005)
Our understanding of the East African long rains (March-May) variability remains relatively poor. Interannual variations are quite small compared to intraseasonal vari- ations. An analysis of pentad rainfall and OLR data ...
Wet periods along the East Africa Coast and the extreme wet spell event of October 1997
(2008)
Extreme wet spells affect the East Africa Coast (EAC) during March to June (long rains) and October to December (short rains). While these spells are less frequent during the short rains, some of the most extreme wet spells ...
