Changes in temperature and precipitation extremes over the Greater Horn of Africa region from 1961 to 2010
Philip Omondi,Joseph L. Awange,Ehsan Forootan,Laban Ogallo,Ruben Barakiza,Gezahegn Bogale Girmaw,Isaac Fesseha,Venerabilis Kululetera,Caroline Kilembe,Mathieu Mugunga Mbati,Mary Kilavi,Stephen Mutua King'uyu,Peter Adek Omeny,Andrew Njogu,Eldin Mamoun Badr,Tibin Adam Musa,Peris Muchiri,Deus Bamanya,Everline Komutunga +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the outputs of three workshops and also included post-workshop analyses to assess the changes of climate extremes within the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) region using observed in situ data running from 1971 to 2006.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the performance of CORDEX Regional Climate Models in Simulating East African Rainfall
Hussen Seid Endris,Philip Omondi,Suman L. Jain,Christopher Lennard,Bruce Hewitson,Ladislaus Chang’a,Joseph L. Awange,Alessandro Dosio,Patrick Ketiem,Grigory Nikulin,Hans-Jürgen Panitz,Matthias Büchner,Frode Stordal,Lukiya Tazalika +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the ability of 10 regional climate models from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) in simulating the characteristics of rainfall patterns over eastern Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separation of large scale water storage patterns over Iran using GRACE, altimetry and hydrological data
Ehsan Forootan,Roelof Rietbroek,Jürgen Kusche,Mohammad Ali Sharifi,Joseph L. Awange,Michael Schmidt,Philip Omondi,James S. Famiglietti +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a statistical approach that uses a priori spatial patterns of terrestrial and surface water storage changes from a hydrological model and altimetry data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Falling Lake Victoria Water Levels: Is Climate a Contributing Factor?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the contribution of climatic contribution to the declining Lake Victoria water level observed over a long period, i.e., 30 years, using 30 years period anomalies for rainfall, river discharge and lake level changes of stations within Lake Victoria basin to analyse linear and cyclic trends of climate indicators in relation to Lake levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decadal rainfall variability modes in observed rainfall records over East Africa and their relations to historical sea surface temperature changes
TL;DR: In this paper, the space-time patterns of decadal rainfall variability modes over East Africa and their predictability potentials using Sea Surface Temperature (SST) are investigated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with VARIMAX rotation and Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) are employed.
