Skill of dynamical and GHACOF consensus seasonal forecasts of East African rainfall
Seasonal forecasts of rainfall are considered the priority timescale by many users in the tropics. In East Africa, the primary operational seasonal forecast for the region is produced by the Greater Horn of Africa Climate …
Adoption of Climate Smart Agricultural Technologies and Practices in Drylands in Uganda: Evidence from a Microlevel Study in Nakasongola District
Agriculture is the most important sector in Uganda’s economy, but it continues to experience challenges of erratic rainfall variability and environmental degradation. This paper is situated within post-structuralist geographical thought to (i) classify CSA practices …

Examining the potential contributions of extreme “Western V” sea surface temperatures to the 2017 March–June East African drought
During March–June (MAMJ) 2017 East Africa (EA; 35°–50°E, 12°S–9°N) experienced an extensive drought across Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia that contributed to extreme food insecurity (Funk et al. 2018, hereafter F18) approaching near-famine conditions (FEWSNET …

Evaluation of rainfall simulations over Uganda in CORDEX regional climate models
The study evaluates the ability of ten regional climate models (RCMs) to simulate the present-day rainfall over Uganda within the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) for the period 1990–2008. The models’ ability to reproduce the …
Projected climate over the Greater Horn of Africa under 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming
We analyze the potential effect of global warming levels (GWLs) of 1.5 ◦C and 2 ◦C above pre-industrial levels (1861−1890) on mean temperature and precipitation as well as intra-seasonal precipitation extremes over the Greater Horn …
