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 ...
Beach erosion: case studies on the East African coast
(1992-10)
Marine erosion of late Holocene beach deposits is a common problem 011 the equatorial
coasts of the western Indian Ocean, damaging or threatening tourism-related investment
and communication infrastructure. The problem ...
Stochastic modelling of regional annual rainfall anomalies in East Africa
(1986)
ARIMA (p, d, q) models were fitted to areal annual rainfall of two homogeneous regions in East Africa with rainfall records extending between the period 1922-80. The areal estimates of the regional rainfall were derived ...
Teleconnection between Seasonal Rainfall over East Africa and Global Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
(1988)
In this study, global sea surface temperature anomalies within ±300 latitudes of the equator were
correlated with the time series of the major rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) modes of
the seasonal rainfall ...
Recent Trends of Minimum and Maximum Surface Temperatures over Eastern Africa
(2000-08)
This study investigated recent trends in the mean surface minimum and maximum air temperatures over eastern
Africa by use of both graphical and statistical techniques. Daily records for 71 stations for the period \939-92
were ...
Human Evolution and Migration in a Variable Environment: The Amplifier Lakes of East Africa
(2013-06-23)
The development of the Cenozoic East African Rift System (EARS) profoundly re-shaped the landscape and significantly increased the amplitude of short-term environmental response to climate variation. In particular, the ...
Quasi-periodic patterns in the East African rainfall records
(1982)
In this study East African rainfall records within the period 1922-80 were
subjected to spectral analysis in order to examine whether the
fluctuations in rainfall during 1922-80 exhibited any periodic or quasi-periodic ...
Application of the NCAR regional climate model to eastern Africa 1. Simulation of the short rains of 1988
(1999)
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Regional Climate
Model (RegCM2) is employed to investigate the physical mechanisms that govern the
October-December rains over eastern Africa. The model employs the ...
Temporal fluctuations of seasonal rainfall patterns in East Africa
(1984)
In order to investigate temporal fluctuations in the seasonal rainfall over East
Africa, monthly rainfall records from about 100 stations during" the period 1931 -75 were subjected
to harmonic analysis on the yearly ...
The changing conceptions and focus of health research in East Africa
(2006-06)
Perceptions in health research are a product of the circumstances within the society, where the
research activities are situated. In East Africa there has been a change in conceptualization
over a period of time from an ...
