The Rainfall Annual Cycle Bias over East Africa in CMIP5 Coupled Climate Models
East Africa has two rainy seasons: the long rains [March–May (MAM)] and the short rains [October– December (OND)]. Most CMIP3/5 coupled models overestimate the short rains while underestimating the long rains. In this study, the East African rainfall bias is investigated by comparing the coupled historical simulations from CMIP5 to the corresponding SST-forced AMIP simulations. Much of the inve...
متن کاملRainfall drives hydrocephalus in East Africa Clinical article
161 HydrocepHalus is the most common neurosurgical disorder in children, with rates of 3–5 per 1000 live births in developed countries3 and estimates in sub-Saharan Africa of more than 100,000 cases per year.28 The majority of infant hydrocephalus cases in East Africa appear to be postinfectious,27 related to preceding neonatal infections, and are thus preventable if the microbial origins and r...
متن کاملApplication of Geostatistics in Time Series: Mashhad Annual Rainfall
There are numerous methods for data fillingin hydrology. Most, however, are based oncorrelations with nearby stations in a generalscheme of regionalization. These methods,though robust, fail to function when andwhere all the near stations are missed-datatoo. The Mashhad synoptic station has annualrainfall data over a 50 year period from 1951to 2000 and historic rainfall data from 1893 to1940, j...
متن کاملIndian Ocean dipole and rainfall drive a Moran effect in East Africa malaria transmission.
BACKGROUND Patterns of concerted fluctuation in populations-synchrony-can reveal impacts of climatic variability on disease dynamics. We examined whether malaria transmission has been synchronous in an area with a common rainfall regime and sensitive to the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), a global climatic phenomenon affecting weather patterns in East Africa. METHODS We studied malaria synchrony i...
متن کاملReduced interannual rainfall variability in East Africa during the last ice age.
Interannual rainfall variations in equatorial East Africa are tightly linked to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), with more rain and flooding during El Niño and droughts in La Niña years, both having severe impacts on human habitation and food security. Here we report evidence from an annually laminated lake sediment record from southeastern Kenya for interannual to centennial-scale chan...
