Abstract:

In this study, the authors evaluated the spatial and temporal variability of rainfall over the central Pindus mountain range. To accomplish this, long-term (1961–2016) monthly rainfall data from nine rain gauges were collected and analyzed. Seasonal and annual rainfall data were subjected to Mann–Kendall tests to assess the possible upward or downward statistically significant trends and to change-point analyses to detect whether a change in the rainfall time series mean had taken place. Additionally, Sen’s slope method was used to estimate the trend magnitude, whereas multiple regression mode

Abstract The variability of summer precipitation in the southeastern United States is examined in this study using 60-yr (1948–2007) rainfall data. The Southeast summer rainfalls exhibited higher interannual variability with more intense summer droughts and anomalous wetness in the recent 30 years (1978–2007) than in the prior 30 years (1948–77). Such intensification of summer rainfall variability was consistent with a decrease of light (0.1–1 mm day−1) and medium (1–10 mm day−1) rainfall events during extremely dry summers and an increase of heavy (&gt;10 mm day−1) rainfall events in extr

Abstract:

Investigating the influence of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on seasonal rainfall is a crucial factor for managing Ethiopian water resources. For this purpose, SST and rainfall data were used to study a wide range of inhomogeneous areas in Ethiopia with uneven distribution of rainfall for both summer (1951–2015) and spring (1951–2000) seasons. Firstly, a preliminary subdivision of rainfall grid points into zones was applied depending on spatial homogeneity and seasonality of rainfall. This introduced new clusters, including nine zones for summer rainfall peak (July/August) and five zones for

The performance of urban drainage systems is typically examined using hydrological and hydrodynamic models where rainfall input is uniformly distributed, i.e., derived from a single or very few rain gauges. When models are fed with a single uniformly distributed rainfall realization, the response of the urban drainage system to the rainfall variability remains unexplored. The goal of this study was to understand how climate variability and spatial rainfall variability, jointly or individually considered, affect the response of a calibrated hydrodynamic urban drainage model.

Abstract:

Crop production is increasingly under threat as rainfall becomes more erratic and unreliable due to climate change. The rainy season in Eswatini is mainly between October and March, but a variation in the amount of rainfall, onset and cessation of rainfall season, and dry spells has been lately threatening rain-fed maize production. This study was meant to assess the degree of rainfall variability and its impacts on rain-fed maize production in Eswatini. Rainfall data for the years 1991-2021 from six weather stations representing the various agro-ecological zones in Eswatini was obtained from

<strong>Abstract :</strong> Rainfall is a vital component of the hydrological cycle, and its variability has significant impacts on agriculture, water resources, and ecosystems. This study investigates the spatio-temporal changes in rainfall in Dharashiv District, Maharashtra, India. Daily rainfall data from 2011 to 2021 were analyzed using statistical and geospatial techniques. The results show significant spatial and temporal variability in rainfall, with a decreasing trend in annual rainfall. The study identifies areas with high and low rainfall concentrations and highlights the importance

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the impact of rainfall variability on fluctuations in electricity production at the Tonsealama Hydropower Plant. The analysis utilized rainfall and electricity production data over a five-year period from 2019 to 2023. Results indicate a significant correlation between rainfall variability and electricity output at the plant. Generally, an increase in rainfall corresponds with an increase in electricity production, while a decrease in rainfall leads to a reduction in power generation. However, high fluctuations in rainfall also cause notable instability in electricit

Abstract:

The regional climate model, Providing REgional Climates for Impact Studies (PRECIS), has been widely used throughout the world to generate climate change projections for impact studies and adaptations. Its recent application in South Asia also includes the projection of rainfall extremes. In spite of its wide application, a stringent validation of the model is yet to be reported. In this study, we assessed the performance of the model in simulating annual, monthly and extreme rainfalls over Bangladesh by using a number of statistical techniques, e.g., pattern (both spatial and temporal) correl

Ratnapura district in Sri Lanka could be identified as an area that is constantly affected by the adverse effects of rainfall variability; hence it is important to study the temporal patterns and distribution of rainfall variability in the area during the recent past decades. Therefore, this research aims to compare the annual and seasonal rainfall variability of the Ratnapura district based on the standard 30-year periods of 1961-1990 and 1991-2020. Fundamental statistical methods of coefficient of variation, Precipitation Concentration Index, and Standardised Precipitation Index were used to

Abstract:

Rainfall is an important input to conceptual hydrological models, and its accuracy would have a considerable effect on that of the model simulations. However, traditional conceptual rainfall-runoff models commonly use catchment-average rainfall as inputs without recognizing its spatial variability. To solve this, a seamless integration framework that couples rainfall spatial variability with a conceptual rainfall-runoff model, named the statistical rainfall-runoff (SRR) model, is built in this study. In the SRR model, the exponential difference distribution (EDD) is proposed to describe the sp

Climate change and variability pose significant threats to southern Africa, with projected continuous drought in Botswana. This study examines the causal relationships between African-Indian monsoon systems (East Africa, West Africa, and Peninsula India), the Mascarene High, and interannual rainfall variability over Botswana. Using statistical analysis and mapping techniques (Pearson correlation statistics and convergent cross mapping (CCM)), the authors analysed the impact of these weather systems on rainfall variability from 1979 to 2021. The findings reveal significant negative associations

Rainfall is regarded as one of the foundational concepts for comprehending climate variability and/or change. This paper aimed at examining the seasonal and annual rainfall variability and its associated trends over Rwanda between 1981 and 2017. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) was used to determine the rainfall variability. Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator techniques were used to detect trends and to quantify the magnitude of change. High rainfall variability was observed over eastern Rwanda, around Kigali city and central plateau, while the south-western, western and the north hi
