Rainfall variability in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
This study examines rainfall variability in the Kathmandu Valley from 1971 to 2023, utilizing daily rainfall data from 19 weather stations. The annual, monthly, and seasonal means were determined. The results indicate that July is the wettest month, while November is the driest. Monsoon is the primary source of rainfall, accounting for 78.79%, followed

An instance‐level, model‐agnostic explanation of class differentiation is introduced through SHAP‐LCD, linking probability shifts to feature‐wise Shapley contributions. The method operates on tabular and image data and is released in a fully reproducible implementation, offering a transparent way to examine, at each instance, why predictive models ...

Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Daily rainfall variability in southwestern Nigeria
The spatial structure, of and distances between, rainfall-areas in southwestern Nigeria were analysed using the cross-correlation technique. Data were analysed for three weather situations, namely linesquall, monsoon and thunderstorm periods. The rainfall cross-correlation field was found for all the weather situations to be elliptical in shape ...
