Increasing wildfire and declining snowpacks in mountain regions threaten water availability. We combine satellite-based fire detections with snow seasonality classifications to examine activity California's seasonal ephemeral zones. find a nearly tenfold increase during 2020–2021 versus 2001–2019. Accumulation season broadband albedo declined 25%–71% at two burned sites (2021 2022) according in...

Annual series of three stochastic rainfall model parameters — the seasonal wet day amount (or intensity), the conditional dry–day probability (or dry–spell persistence), and the conditional wet-day probability (or wet-spell persistence) — were examined using daily rainfall records for ten UK stations for the period 1901–1995. The purpose was first, to determine the extent to which these indices...

Abstract Dry spells are one of the climate change hazards that continue to exert pressure on agriculture sector, hence affecting food security. Understanding dry spell characteristics an area helps in coming up with interventions and adaptive measures among other advantages. This study aimed at understanding for Malawi by using group infrared precipitation stations data from 1981 2019. The focu...

Crop yield in rainfed agriculture is directly influenced by rainfall patterns, which vary from one growing season to another. The failure or success of such crops can depend on the amount and distribution and, particularly, occurrence dry- wet-spells during season. aim this study was investigate initial conditional probabilities dry-spell pentads using Markov chain model western maize-growing r...
