Rainfall Estimation in the Sahel: What Is the Ground Truth?
Areal rainfall estimation from ground sensors is essential as a direct input to various hydrometeorological models or as a validation of remote sensing estimates. More critical than the estimation itself is the assessment of the uncertainty associated with it. In tropical regions knowledge on this topic is especially scarce due to a lack of appropriate data. It is proposed here to assess standa...
متن کاملForced Sahel rainfall trends in the CMIP5 archive
The simulations of the fifth Coupled Models Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) strengthen previous assessments of a substantial role of anthropogenic emissions in driving precipitation changes in the Sahel, the semi-arid region at the southern edge of the Sahara. Historical simulations can capture the magnitude of the centennial Sahel drying over the span of the 20th century and confirm that anthr...
متن کاملRainfall variability and vegetation dynamics in the Mauritanian Sahel
To evaluate the state of ecosystems in Mauritania, rainfall time series and a GIMMSNDVI (global inventory modeling and mapping study-normalized difference vegetation index) data set were used for analysis of rainfall and NDVI trends and their relationships in different ecological zones. Linear regression analysis and the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test were applied to detect NDVI and rainfall ...
متن کاملSteep Slopes: Part I. Simulated Rainfall Conditions
Steep slopes consisting of disturbed soil are very often found in construction, landfill, and surface mining situations. Although legislation and economics dictate that vegetative cover be established on these slopes as rapidly as possible, the occurrence of large rainfall events during critical periods of vegetation establishment can frequently cause extensive soil loss. Sediment generated fro...
متن کاملMeasuring Rainfall at Sea. Part I. In Situ sensors
1) Introduction Rainfall is an important climatic variable. Extremes in rainfall accumulations over land — either floods or droughts — have major societal implications and are obvious. At sea the effects on human activity are less evident, apart from the inconvenience to deck passengers on cruise liners! However improved knowledge of the rainfall associated with weather systems approaching the ...
