A network of wireless sensorscope stations is installed in the catchment of the Singou River (in the Gourma region of Burkina Faso) and monitor at a time step of 5 minutes...
متن کاملSolar Radiation Estimation from Rainfall and Temperature Data in Arid and Semi-arid Climates of Iran
Precipitation and air temperature data, only, are often recorded at meteorological stations, with radiation beingmeasured at very few weather stations, especially in developing countries. Therefore there arises a need for suitablemodels to estimate solar radiation for a completion of data sets. This paper is about an evaluation of eight models foran estimation of daily solar radiation (Q) from ...
متن کاملComparison of measured multi-decadal rainfall variability with farmers’ perceptions of and responses to seasonal changes in western Uganda
Smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are not only dealing with decreased production from land degradation, but are also impacted heavily by climate variability.
