This study investigated the capability of Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to simulate seven different heavy precipitation (PRE) events that occurred across East Africa in summer 2020. The WRF outputs were evaluated against high-resolution satellite-based observations, which obtained from prior evaluations several satellite observations with 30 stations’ data. synoptic conditions ac...

In 2015, an emergency state was declared in Bolivia when Poopó Lake dried up. Climate variability and the increasing need for water are potential factors responsible for this situation. Because field data are missing over the region, no statements are possible about the influence of mentioned factors. This study is a preliminary step toward the understanding of Poopó Lake drought using remote s...

The high variability of rainfall in the Sahel region causes droughts and floods that affect millions people every year. Several forecasting models have been proposed, but results still need to be improved. In this study, linear, polynomial, exponential are developed forecast Bani Senegal River basins. All three use Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST). A fourth algorithm using stepwise regres...
