Weakening and Shifting of the Saharan Shallow Meridional Circulation During Wet Years of the West African Monsoon

open access: yes, 2017
The correlation between increased Sahel rainfall and reduced Saharan surface pressure is well established in observations and global climate models, and has been used to imply that increased Sahel rainfall is caused by a stronger shallow meridional ...

Rainfall variability in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

open access: yesScientific World
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

Shapley Additive Explanation for Local Class Differentiation: Local Explainability for Class Differentiation in Classification Models

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
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 ...

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
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 ...

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Wealth, weather risk, and the composition and profitability of agricultural investments [PDF]

open access: yes
Despite the growing evidence that farmers in low-income environments are risk-averse, there has been little empirical evidence on the importance of risk in shaping the actual allocation of production resources among farmers differentiated by wealth.

Daily rainfall variability in southwestern Nigeria

open access: yesMAUSAM, 1988
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 ...
