Identifying the impact of rainfall variability on conflicts at the monthly level [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Research on the relationship between rainfall variability and conflicts has yielded contradictory results. This study is the first to show that the significance of the impact of rainfall variability on conflicts depends on the temporal unit of analysis ...

Quantifying the role of antecedent Southwestern Indian Ocean capacitance on the summer monsoon rainfall variability over homogeneous regions of India [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The role of ocean variability is at a focal point in improving the weather and climate forecasts at different spatial and temporal scales. We study the effect of antecedent southwestern Indian Ocean mean sea level anomaly (MSLA) and sea surface ...

Relationship between Rainfall Variability and the Predictability of Radar Rainfall Nowcasting Models
Atmosphere, 2019 Radar rainfall nowcasts are subject to many sources of uncertainty and these uncertainties change with the characteristics of a storm. The predictive skill of a radar rainfall nowcasting model can be difficult to understand as sometimes it appears to be ...

Partitioning the impacts of spatial and climatological rainfall variability in urban drainage modeling [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 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.

Downscaling rainfall temporal variability [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2007 A realistic description of land surface/atmosphere interactions in climate and hydrologic studies requires the specification of the rainfall forcing at aggregation scales of 1 hour or less. This is in contrast with the wide availability of daily rainfall observations and with the typically coarse output resolution of climate and numerical weather ...
