چکیده

Rainfall is the most important water resource in central and western Sudan, a region affected by the recent drought in Africa. A general methodology for studying the annual rainfall process is presented and applied to data from central and western Sudan. It is assumed that certain time series models adequately describe the annual rainfall process in the region. Based on this assumption, the drought frequencies are calculated in the subregions with stationary series. The theory of runs is applied in calculating drought frequencies using a data generation method. Analyse de la fréquence des sécheresses des précipitations annuelles dans les parties centrale et occidentale du Soudan Résumé Les précipitations constituant la plus importante ressource en eau dans les parties centrale et occidentale du Soudan, ces régions ont été affectées par la récente sécheresse africaine. Une méthodologie générale pour l'étude des précipitations annuelles est présentée, puis appliquée aux données des régions centrale et occidentale du Soudan. Nous avons supposé que certains modèles de séries temporelles dérivent d'une façon adéquate les précipitations annuelles dans ces régions. A partir de cette hypothèse, les fréquences des sécheresses ont été calculées dans les différentes parties de ces régions qui avaient des séries statistiques stationnaires. La théorie des "runs" a été appliquée a des précipitations générées par des simulations pour calculer les fréquences des sécheresses.
