Variability of seasonal and annual rainfall in the River Nile riparian countries and possible linkages to ocean–atmosphere interactions
(Hydrology Research, 2016)
Variability analyses for the rainfall over the Nile Basin have been confined mostly to sub-basins and
the annual mean of the hydroclimatic variable based on observed short-term data from a few
meteorological stations. ...
Trends and variability in African long-term precipitation
(Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2018)
African precipitation trends are commonly analyzed using short-term data observed over small areas. This study analyzed
changes in long-term (1901–2015) annual and seasonal precipitation of high spatial (0.5 9 0.5 grid) ...
How well do climate models reproduce variability in observed rainfall? A case study of the Lake Victoria basin considering CMIP3, CMIP5 and CORDEX simulations
(Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2019)
In this study, how well the climate models reproduce variability in observed rainfall was assessed based on General
Circulation Models (GCMs) from phase 3 and phase 5 of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project, i.e., ...
Contributions of Human Activities and Climatic Variability to Changes in River Rwizi Flows in Uganda, East Africa
(Hydrology, 2021)
This study employed Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to analyze the impacts
of climate variability and human activities on River Rwizi flows. Changes in land use and land
cover (LULC) types from 1997 to 2019 were ...
Space-time variability of extreme rainfall in the River Nile basin
(International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
In this study, spatio-temporal variability in daily rainfall extremes based on 0.5∘ × 0.5∘ gridded data over the
Nile basin was analysed using the quantile perturbation method. The co-occurrence of the extreme rainfall ...
Analyses of Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Changes across the Lake Kyoga Basin in East Africa
(Water, 2020)
This study analyzed changes in CenTrends gridded precipitation (1961–2015) and
Potential Evapotranspiration (PET; 1961–2008) across the Lake Kyoga Basin (LKB). PET was
computed from gridded temperature of the Princeton ...
Trends and variability of temperature and evaporation over the African continent: Relationships with precipitation
(Atmosfera, 2021)
This study analyzes changes in the long-term (1901-2015) monthly values of potential evapotranspiration (PET), precipitation, and minimum (Tmin) and maximum (Tmax) temperatures across Africa to quantify trends and assess ...
Assessing the spatio-temporal climate variability in semi-arid Karamoja subregion in north-eastern Uganda
(International Journal of Environmental Studies, 2014)
Semi-arid areas show climatic variability on a spatio-temporal scale. There are few studies on the
long-term trends and intensity of this variability from East Africa. We used National Ocean and
Atmospheric Administration ...
The Effect of Land Use on Carbon Stocks and Implications for Climate Variability on the Slopes of Mount Elgon, Eastern Uganda
(International Journal of Regional Development, 2017)
We investigated the impact of land use change on carbon stocks and its implications to
climate variability in Mountain environments. Remotely sensed biophysical data was used to
determine the extent of land use change ...
Vulnerability of smallholder sorghum farmers to climate variability in a heterogeneous landscape of south-western Uganda
(Journal of Disaster Risk Studies, 2020)
Smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are at a greater risk to the impacts of climate
variability. We therefore sought to assess vulnerability of smallholder sorghum farmers to
climate variability in Kigezi highlands ...
