A statistical approach is used to explore the variability of precipitation and meteorological drought in Mexico’s Rı́o Yaqui basin on seasonal-to-decadal timescales. For this purpose, a number of custom datasets have been developed, including a monthly 1900-2004 precipitation index for the Yaqui basin created by merging two gridded land-surface precipitation products, a 350-year tree-ring based ...

because of the increasing importance of supplying water for the country, water resource management is of paramount importance. predicting precipitation, as one of the most important climatic parameters, is especially important in using water supplies. time series can be used to predict precipitation. time series analysis seems to be a suitable tool for such forecasting. the present work studies...

Abstract Background Rainfall variability exceedingly affects agriculture in Ethiopia, particularly the eastern region where rainfall is relatively scarce. Hence, understanding spatiotemporal of indispensable for planning mitigation measures during high and low seasons. This study examined trends West Harerge Zone, Ethiopia. Method The coefficient variation (CV) standardized anomaly index (SAI) ...

Dynamics of dissolved organic carbon concentration (DOC) and capacity to absorb light (color) are determined by in-lake and external properties and processes. In this study, the influence of external factors such as rainfall and solar radiation on DOC and color dynamics was assessed for a small forested lake. DOC and absorption coefficients at 440 nm (a440) ranged 4-fold from 0.46 to 1.62 mM an...

During the monsoon season, the spatiotemporal variability of rainfall impacts the growth of vegetation in the Sahel. This study evaluates this effect for the Ferlo basin in central northern Senegal. Relationships between rainfall, soil moisture (SM), and vegetation are assessed using remote sensing data (TRMM3B42 and RFE 2.0 for rainfall, ESA-CCI.SM for soil moisture and MODIS Leaf Area Index (...
