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. ...
Geospatial Trends and Decadal Anomalies in Extreme Rainfall over Uganda, East Africa
(Onyutha, C. (2016). Geospatial trends and decadal anomalies in extreme rainfall over Uganda, East Africa. Advances in Meteorology, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2016/6935912, 2016)
Trends and variability in series comprising the mean of fifteen highest daily rainfall intensities in each year were analyzed
considering entire Uganda.The data were extracted from high-resolution (0.5∘ × 0.5∘) gridded ...
Comparison of different statistical downscaling methods for climate change rainfall projections over the Lake Victoria basin considering CMIP3 and CMIP5
(Journal of Hydro-environment Research, 2016)
In this study, outputs of three statistical downscaling (SD) methods including the change factor (Delta), simplified (simQP) and advanced
(wetQP) quantile-perturbation-based approaches were compared based on daily rainfall ...
Statistical analyses of potential evapotranspiration changes over theperiod 1930–2012 in the Nile River riparian countries
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2016)
Changes in potential evapotranspiration (PET) in the Nile Basin tend to be analyzed mostly based onshort-term remotely sensed annual data. In this study, long-term country-wide series from 1930 to 2012were used to assess ...
Environmental Dynamics of Lake Victoria: Evidence from a 10,000 14C yr Diatom Record from Napoleon Gulf and Sango Bay
(Journal of Environmental Science and Engineering, 2016)
Bio-proxies provide relevant information on ecosystem health and environmental dynamics. In this study, diatom
assemblages of two cores collected from the Ugandan side of Lake Victoria at Napoleon Gulf (“NAPG1” (GPS, ...
Identification of sub-trends from hydro-meteorological series
(Stochastic environmental research and risk assessment, 2016)
In hydro-meteorological trend analysis, an alteration
in the given variable is detected by considering the
long-term series as a whole. Whereas the long-term trend
may be absent, the significance of hidden (short-dura ...
Influence of Spatial and Temporal Scales on Statistical Analyses of Rainfall Variability in the River Nile Basin
(Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans, 2016)
In this study, empirical orthogonal function was applied to analyze rainfall variability in the Nile Basin
based on various spatio-temporal scales. The co-occurrence of rainfall variability and the variation in
selected ...
Analyses of rainfall trends in the Nile River Basin
(Journal of hydro-environment research, 2016)
Trends in rainfall at 39 locations of the Nile River Basin (NRB) in Africa were analyzed. Comparison was made between rainfall trend results
from the long-term data and those of short-term series selected over different ...
Statistical Uncertainty in Hydrometeorological Trend Analyses
(Advances in Meteorology, 2016)
This study demonstrates the existence of uncertainty in hydrometeorological trend analyses using historical rainfall from Kenya
in East Africa. With respect to the influence of short- and long-term persistence on trend ...
Factors that affect distribution of Small Mammal Communities in Mabira Central Forest Reserve (MCFR) and Kibale Forest National Park (KFNP)
(ResearchGate, 2016)
The study was completed through the use of conventional rodent traps, Pit falls and mist nets, and conducted in different survey areas 4 in MCFR and 2 in KFNP for a period of four months. It was observed that different ...
