The sensitivity of rainfall characteristics to cumulus parameterization schemes from a WRF model. Part I: A case study over East Africa during wet years
The suitability of a weather research and forecasting model in simulating mean rainfall, number of rainy days (NRDs), intensity of rainy days and their frequencies is investigated over East Africa for selected wet years. Physical …
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 …

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 …
