Abstract Over the recent decades, extreme precipitation events (EPEs) have become more frequent over Sahel. Their properties, however, so far received little attention. In this study spatial distribution, intensity, seasonality, and interannual variability of EPEs are examined, using both a reference dataset based on high-density rain gauge network Burkina Faso 24 gridded datasets. The datasets...

Using hourly rain gauge records and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission 3B42 from 1998 to 2006, the authors present an analysis of the diurnal characteristics of summer rainfall over subtropical East Asia. The study shows that there are four different regimes of distinct diurnal variation of rainfall in both the rain gauge and the satellite data. They are located over the Tibetan Plateau with l...

global warming has brought about changes in meteorological variable time series. these changes, accompanied with serious human intervention in nature, has resulted in hydrological changes. so the effects can be tracked down by the trend of the time series. the purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the monthly and annual trends of temperature, precipitation as well as stream flow time ...
