Investigation of the atmospheric circulation anomalies associated with extreme rainfall events over the Coastal West Africa
This study investigates the atmospheric circulation associated with extreme rainfall events over the coastal West Africa. The rainfall data of this study were obtained from the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC), spanning from 1981 to 2010. The atmospheric datasets were also obtained from the ERA-Interim reanalysis. The study employed the Z-Index to categorize dry and wet years into...
متن کاملIntense Rainfall Events over the West coast of India
The west coast of the Indian peninsula receives very heavy rainfall during the summer monsoon (June-September) season with average rainfall over some parts exceeding 250 cm. Heavy rainfall events with rainfall more than 15 cm day −1 at one or more stations along the west coast of India occur frequently and cause considerable damage. out during the monsoon season of 2002 to study these events. T...
متن کاملProjected changes in US rainfall erosivity
Downscaled rainfall projections from 21 climate models from the CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) archive are used to estimate future changes in rainfall erosivity in the continental Unites States. To estimate erosivity from rainfall in the absence of sub-hourly data, we have used both daily rainfall values and the modified Fournier index – which is based on monthly rainfall...
متن کاملRobust increase in extreme summer rainfall intensity during the past four decades observed in China
Global warming increases the moisture holding capacity of the atmosphere and consequently the potential risks of extreme rainfall. Here we show that maximum hourly summer rainfall intensity has increased by about 11.2% on average, using continuous hourly gauge records for 1971-2013 from 721 weather stations in China. The corresponding event accumulated precipitation has on average increased by ...
متن کاملDetecting non-stationarity in extreme rainfall data observed in Northern Italy
Recent analyses have claimed the possible presence of non-stationarity, produced by the presence of either trend or long-term climatic fluctuations, in some historical hydrometeorological records observed in Europe as well as in other countries. Such non-stationarity might exert a remarkable effect on the estimation of the frequency distribution of the extreme events. However, it is well known ...
