Spatial heterogeneity in rain-bearing winds, seasonality and rainfall variability in southern Africa's winter rainfall zone [PDF]
Advances in Statistical Climatology, Meteorology and Oceanography, 2022 A renewed focus on southern Africa's winter rainfall zone (WRZ) following the Day Zero drought and water crisis has not shed much light on the spatial patterns of its rainfall variability and climatological seasonality.

Modeling and forecasting of rainfall reoccurrence changes using Markov Switching in Iran
SN Applied Sciences, 2021 This paper represents the recurrence (reoccurrence) changes in the rainfall series using Markov Switching models (MSM). The switching employs a dynamic pattern that allows a linear model to be combined with nonlinearity models a discrete structure.

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 ...

Cybergeo, 2010 The climate variability was generally studied in West Africa and particularly in Ivory Coast. The rainfall variability was specifically analysed. Therefore, rainfall variables such as rainy days frequency and rainfall seasonal duration are little studied.

Spatial and temporal variability of rainfall and their effects on hydrological response in urban areas – a review [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 In urban areas, hydrological processes are characterized by high variability in space and time, making them sensitive to small-scale temporal and spatial rainfall variability.

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022 Climate is one of the main factors for rice crop growth. Understanding the relationship between climate variability and rice production during the period from 1901 to 1939 in Burma can give a clear picture of the impact of climate variability on rice ...

Child growth sensitivity to rainfall variability [PDF]
Science, 2017 Malnutrition Agricultural production and crop diversity are highly sensitive to climate and local weather variables. To assess the sensitivity of child growth and weight gain to precipitation, Shiveley combined data for Uganda and Nepal collected over 30 years from several sources and controlled for multiple covariates. Positive anthropometric outcomes
