Environmental controls on African rainfall variability

2023
Local African communities heavily depend on rain-fed agriculture, which are vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather and climate variability/change. However, challenges remain in predicting African rainfall. For instance, climate models with cumulus convective parametrization lack the ability to explicitly simulate mesoscale convective systems that

Variable‐head ponded infiltration under constant or variable rainfall

Water Resources Research, 1993
This study of the effect of excess rainfall, ponded without runoff, on the dynamics of infiltration into a deep homogeneous soil uses the Green‐Ampt, or delta function, approximation. Exact solutions are given for constant and for piecewise constant rainfall. An inverse method yields solutions for arbitrary hyetographs.

Tropical rainfall variability — The agroclimatic impact

Agriculture and Environment, 1982
Abstract In tropical lowlands, agriculture is largely controlled by rainfall conditions. In these areas, most elements of climate, and particularly temperatures, are very uniform both over place and time, but rainfall is much more variable. Lack of sufficient rainfall is the main limiting factor in agriculture in most tropical areas.

Daily Rainfall Variability in Coastal Tanzania

Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 1983
The spatial correlation analysis of daily rainfall data for a 29 month period in the northern coastal area of Tanzania has revealed a definite trend of higher rainfall correlations parallel to the coastline than is apparent normal to it. The general distance-decay rate of correlation coefficients for daily rainfall approximates a semi-logarithmic form,
