Characteristics of Intense Multi‐Day Wet Spells Over West Africa
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The study reveals a significant increase in intense wet spells, particularly in KASS‐D, emphasising the value of dense rain‐gauge networks. Larger‐sized events have grown, while smaller ones declined, boosting 3‐day and 5‐day wet spells' contribution to annual rainfall, with the Guinea Coast showing the highest increase and the Sahel the lowest ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study applies stochastic rainfall models combining Markov Chains with gamma and mixed exponential distributions to a semi‐arid climate in Northeast Brazil. Model structures were evaluated using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), with maximum likelihood (MLM) for parameter estimation and cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for validation ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study presents that the WRF model, coupled with bulk urban parameterization, effectively captures the summer urban heat island (UHI) patterns across the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, showing stronger night‐time surface UHIs (5°C–6°C) and daytime surface cool islands (up to 12.5°C).

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The intra‐annual variability of the Mediterranean climate does not include an even transition from winter to summer regime and vice versa. A detailed examination of the long‐term (84 years) mean intra‐annual variations of key parameters reveals remarkable and climatologically important peculiarities. ABSTRACT The intra‐annual variability of atmospheric

Mapping the Spatial Scales of Australian Extreme Precipitation Using Daily Rain Gauges
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.We present the first continent‐wide analysis of the spatial scales of daily extreme precipitation events (EPEs) in Australia using station observations and semivariogram analysis. EPEs generally have larger spatial scales at higher latitudes, with strong seasonal and regional differences shaped by topography, meteorological regimes, and climate ...

Assessing Past and Future Temperature‐ and Precipitation‐Based Indicators in the Republic of Yemen
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.For the first time in the literature, this work assesses the past and future climatic trends over Yemen, a highly vulnerable country for which science‐based, high‐quality information for the development of climate change adaptation plans was not available until now.

Boron availability and fertilizer response of maize in soils from sub‐Saharan Africa
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.Abstract Background and aims Low boron (B) availability is associated with strongly weathered, coarse‐textured, and low organic matter soils, widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). It is unknown to what extent B fertilization can increase maize yields in SSA.

Assessing the intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in the Nefud Desert, northern Arabia
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The climate history of the major dryland zones of the world, such as the Saharo–Arabian Desert belt, plays a key role in the dispersal of early humans through these intermittently inhospitable regions. Here, we assess the relative intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in northern Arabia through lithological, geochemical, palaeoecological ...
