Persistent Decadal-Scale Rainfall Variability in the Tropical South Pacific Convergence Zone Through the Past Six Centuries [PDF]

, 2013
Modern Pacific decadal variability (PDV) has global impacts; hence records of PDV from the pre-instrumental period are needed to better inform models that are used to project future climate variability.

Mechanisms of multiyear variations of Northern Australia wet-season rainfall [PDF]

, 2020
Northern Australia wet season (November–April) rainfall exhibits strong variability on multiyear timescales. In order to reveal the underlying mechanisms of this variability, we investigate observational records for the period 1900–2017.

Assessing spatio-temporal rainfall variability in a tropical mountain area (Ethiopia) using NOAA's rainfall estimates [PDF]

, 2013
Seasonal and interannual variation in rainfall can cause massive economic loss for farmers and pastoralists, not only because of deficient total rainfall amounts but also because of long dry spells within the rainy season.

Trends and oscillations in the Indian summer monsoon rainfall over the last two millennia [PDF]

, 2015
Observations show that summer rainfall over large parts of South Asia has declined over the past five to six decades. It remains unclear, however, whether this trend is due to natural variability or increased anthropogenic aerosol loading over South Asia.

Exploration of spatial and temporal variability of rainfall and their impact on rice production in Burma in 1901–1939 during the colonial period

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 ...

Long-term changes and variability in rainfall and streamflow in Luvuvhu River Catchment, South Africa

South African Journal of Science, 2015
We investigated long-term changes and variability in daily rainfall and streamflow in the Luvuvhu River Catchment, South Africa. Changes and variability in rainfall and streamflow impact on available water resources and the allocation of these resources.

Rainfall variations in central Indo-Pacific over the past 2,700 y [PDF]

, 2019
Tropical rainfall variability is closely linked to meridional shifts of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and zonal movements of the Walker circulation.

Dynamical and moist thermodynamical processes associated with Western Ghats rainfall decadal variability

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022
The Western Ghats (WG) is a vast montane forest ecosystem known for its biodiversity and endemism. The decadal variability of WG summer monsoon rainfall is higher than most of the other regions of India.

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

Spatiotemporal variability and trends of rainfall and its association with Pacific Ocean Sea surface temperature in West Harerge Zone, Eastern Ethiopia

Environmental Systems Research, 2021
Background Rainfall variability exceedingly affects agriculture in Ethiopia, particularly in the eastern region where rainfall is relatively scarce. Hence, understanding the spatiotemporal variability of rainfall is indispensable for planning mitigation ...
