Review of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa by Hansen, James, Mason SJ, Sun L, Tall, Arame

“…Interaction between the atmosphere and underlying oceans provides the basis for probabilistic forecasts of climate conditions at a seasonal lead-time, including during cropping seasons in parts of SSA Regional climate outlook forums (RCOF) and national meteorological services (NMS) have been at the forefront of efforts to provide forecast information for agriculture.A survey showed that African NMS often go well beyond the RCOF process to improve seasonal forecast information and disseminate it to the agricultural sector. …”

Flow regime and land cover changes in the Didessa sub-basin of the Blue Nile River, South-Western Ethiopia by Sima, Bizuneh

“…Simple time series graphs, temporal homogeneity test, correlation and regression analysis were used as the main tools for comparing and illustrating the hydrological and meteorological data. For assessing the change in the land use/cover of the study area, the Blue Nile Basin map, and satellite images were examined, previous studies were considered and a field visit to the study area was undertaken. …”

Merkostnader med vinterväghållning för Grot-transporter orsakade av väglagring. by Edmundsson, Jonathan

“…A snow depth study was conducted using weather data from SMHI (The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute). The spatial and seasonal variation of snow cover was investigated for the winter seasons from 1999 to 2010. …”

Summer rainfall variability and the use of rice (Oryza sativa L.) varietal diversity for adaptation : farmers’ perceptions and responses in Nepal by Bhandari, Bharat

“…The information was collected through a survey in 45 households in mid-hills and 44 households in terai, supplemented with focus group discussions and meteorological data. The analysis revealed a distinct variation in rainfall distribution with a decrease in rainfall amount in mid-hills and an increase in terai during 2004-2008. …”
