Abstract Climate adaptation governance increasingly investigates the cultural capacities of communities to cope with climate variability and change. This paper reports on research symbolic representations summer rainfall in repertoires guiding diverse institutionalised fields activity Sylhet Division.

[1] Observational evidences are presented to show a significant atmospheric diabatic cooling in the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) region after the 1997/1998 El Niño. This study investigates the cause of this decadal cooling and its impact on the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). After 1997/1998, the abnormal sea surface temperature warming in the western Pacific, which is not fully demonstrated i...

climate change is defined as long term and irreversible changes in the climatic behaviorof a region. many studies have been conducted in different regions of the world on climatechange. the results of these studies show considerable changes in climatic factors especiallyin precipitation and temperature. in this research, the trend of changes in annual and seasonalrainfall and temperature in 24 ...

This study investigates the relationship between large-scale climate variability, rainfall oxygen isotopic composition (δO), and cave dripwater δO at Gunung Mulu and Gunung Buda National Parks in northern Borneo (4°N, 115°E) on intraseasonal to interannual timescales. A 3-yr timeseries of rainfall δO contains prominent seasonal and interannual variability. The seasonal cycle in rainfall δO is d...

Observed regional rainfall characteristics can be analyzed by examining both the frequency and intensity of different categories of rainfall. A complementary approach is to consider rainfall characteristics associated with regional synoptic regimes. These two approaches are combined here to examine daily rainfall characteristics over the Australian region, providing a target for model simulatio...

This article presents long-term analyzed climate data from nine weather stations in eastern and southeastern parts of Ethiopia. At the outset of this data process, unrefined meteorological data was obtained from National Meteorological Agency (NMA) of Ethiopia for the analysis. The analyzed data in this article shows patterns of rainfall variability, frequency of drought years, seasonal concent...

Monsoonal rainfall in the Himalaya dominates erosion and sediment transport through the fluvial system. In addition to the strong seasonal nature of the Indian summer monsoon, striking interannual variations in monsoonal strength characterize longer records. For example, during any given year, rain may penetrate further into the orogen, even though peak rainfall amounts almost always occur at t...

Satellite-based rainfall products have extensive applications in global change studies, but they are known to contain deviations that require comprehensive verification at different scales. In this paper, we evaluated the accuracies of two high-resolution satellite-based rainfall products: the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) rainfall product 3B42V7 and the Climate Prediction Center...

[1] Along the southern Himalayan topographic front, the Indian summer monsoon modulates erosive processes and rates. To investigate the influence of topography and relief on rainfall generation and resultant erosion, we processed satellite rainfall amounts for the last 8 years (1998–2005) from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM). Based upon a spatial resolution of 5 5 km for the Hi...
