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 ...
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 ...

Rainfall Variability in Africa
(1979)
Time series' of annual rainfall for 69 stations in Africa we~e analyzed for trends an? p~riodicities.
Trend analysis showed that most of the annual series indicate some forr~s ~f ?sclllatlons .. rather

Development and validation of climate and ecosystem-based early malaria epidemic prediction models in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Background: Malaria epidemics remain a serious threat to human populations living in the highlands of East Africa
where transmission is unstable and climate sensitive. An existing early malaria epidemic prediction model ...
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 ...
Trend of rainfall in East Africa
(1981)
Trends of rainfall in East Africa during the period 1922-1975 are examined
using two independent approaches. namely the graphical and statistical
methods. Under the graphical method the original and smoothed rainfall
series ...
