This review examines several aspects of the climate of eastern Africa. The climatic
commonality throughout the region is the frequent occurrence of drought severe enough to …

In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on
climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews climate phenomena and …

Long and temporally consistent rainfall time series are essential in climate analyses and
applications. Rainfall data from station observations are inadequate over many parts of the …

Abstract Heavy reliance of East Africa (EA) on rain-fed agriculture makes it vulnerable to
drought-induced famine. Yet, most research on EA drought focuses on meteorological …

Impacts of Indian Ocean Dipole mode (IOD) events on global climate are estimated by
correlation/regression analysis. The analysis examined land rain and temperature and 3 …

Abstract The El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major component of the Earth's
climate that largely influences global climate variability through long‐distance …

This article examines farmers' livelihood responses and vulnerability to climate variability
and other stressors in Morogoro, Tanzania, to understand their implications for adaptation to …

This study evaluates the ability of 10 regional climate models (RCMs) from the Coordinated
Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) in simulating the characteristics of …

This paper provides a review of atmospheric circulation and sea surface temperature (SST)
conditions that are associated with meteorological drought on the seasonal time scale in the …

The international scientific community has highlighted decadal and multidecadal climate
variability as a priority area for climate research. The Indian Ocean rim region is home to one …
