Modelling droughts and ENSO cycles in the Murray-Darling basin with a regional climate model
The climate of the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) has been simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. WRF was implemented using a 10km horizontal grid and integrated for 24 years from 1985 through 2008. The model simulated climate was evaluated against gridded precipitation and temperature observations from the Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP) and found to perform...
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 ...

mean tropical state driving El Niño events for this analysis. Table 1 shows that knowledge of these quantities averaged over a 50-year window is not sufficient to determine the ENSO variability over the same window–developing more sophisticated metrics is a crucial goal of the proposed research. Nonetheless, simple lag-correlation analysis of NINO3 index and eastern Pacific thermocline depth (l...
متن کاملDroughts, dams, and economic activity
This paper examines the global effects of droughts on economic activity and the influence of local and upstream large dams on this relationship. We use spatially-specific data on drought severity and nighttime lights data as a measure of economic activity. The analysis shows that severe and extreme droughts reduce local economic activity. In preliminary analyses, local dams appear to improve th...
