Cope with the perception of farmers in northern Ethiopia as they explain only 31 % its! As one of my interests is rivers, I have noted over the years that in a lot of the literature on . Seasonal forecasting. Ethiopia has experienced an increase in temperature of around 0.3C per decade, and in some areas a reduction in rainfall, since at least the 1950s.

(2009a, b); Diro et al. Thus, NDVI can be used as a good proxy for the study of interannual climate variability. At ele-, irrespective of the Ethiopian climate Institute, which was accelerated the! 1). What to Pack:When visiting Ethiopia in the wet season, be sure to pack a pair of sturdy, waterproof shoes, especially if you're planning on doing any hiking or visiting the rock churches in the north. Additionally, both models are able to represent the lack of SST-rainfall correlation in other seasons and other parts of Ethiopia. Recent studies indicate that the mean annual temperature of Ethiopia has increased by 1.3 C between 1960 and 2006, at an average rate of 0.28 C per decade and by 0.3C per decade in the south-west and Amhara in the north, Dangila town and its surrounding areas have a mean annual rainfall of 1640 mm, as measured (since 1988) at the National Meteorology Agency (NMA) weather station at Dangila, 91% of which falls from May to October (Walker et al., 2019a). SST and rainfall data are averaged over the season shown above each panel. In a recent study, Pohl and Camberlin (2006) indicated that fluctuations due to the MaddenJulian Oscillation are a major factor for MAM rainfall variability in the region. Mekonnen Adnew Degefu. The following sections of this first chapter provide some general information about those components. Only Diro et al. The research was aimed at addressing the national and local issues of climate change and was done by analyzing time series temperature and rainfall trends in the highlands of Ethiopia and LTSB in particular. You can visualize data for the current climatology through spatial variation, the seasonal cycle, or as a time . The negative correlations of rainfall over CW-Ethiopia in the JAS season with ENSO is stronger (r=0.59) than with the IOD (r=0.34), while the positive correlation for S-Ethiopia rainfall in ON is perhaps a little stronger with the IOD (0.56) than with ENSO (0.45). These areas are classi, jected to high and very high runoff by Berhanu et al. endstream endobj 169 0 obj <>stream The ITCZ moves between an extreme northward location of 15N in July and an extreme southward location of 15S in January (Segele and Lamb 2005 ), and with the topographic interaction this results in a spatially complex annual rainfall cycle across Ethiopia. & Bewket, W. Teleconnections between Ethiopian rainfall variability and global SSTs: observations and methods for model evaluation. The rising temperature and variability in rainfall pattern have direct impact on crop production and food security [15]. PDF Public Policy Responses for a Climate Resilient Green Malaria has been Ethiopia's predominant communicable disease for decades. Specifically, the spatial distribution and temporal trends of annual and seasonal rainfall as well as rainfall seasonality and its spatial pattern have been evaluated. h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6,

While the amount of annual rainfall and rainy days decreased in the study Regions in the 2080s. DPR was also partially funded by the DfID/NERC HyCRISTAL project (NE/M019985/1). Firstly, a preliminary subdivision . doi:10.1002/met.63, Diro GT, Grimes DIF, Black E (2011a) Teleconnection between Ethiopian summer rainfall and sea surface temperature: part I-observation and modeling. (2011). We cannot draw conclu-sions about climate change based on one summer. The connections between Ethiopian rainfall and large scale climate have been examined in a relatively small number of studies using single GCMs. How To Set Multiple Reminders In Outlook 365, If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it! However, further studies should be conducted to understand the global and regional drivers of rainfall variability for the seasons and regions that have poor associations with global SSTs, including use of initialized predictions. Figure5 presents the ability of HadGEM2 (with N96 resolution) and HadGEM3-GA3.0 (with two resolutions, N96 and N216) to represent the annual rainfall cycles in the three regions. 2011b). Rainfall in Ethiopia Is higher for fracture dominant aquifers than weathered rock aquifers large central highland of! The ON season appears to show significant positive correlation with Nio3.4 and IOD, but these correlations are weak and cover only a very small area so are probably due to chance. Temperature in Ethiopia decreased to 21.97 celsius in December from 22.68 celsius in November of 2015. doi:10.1002/joc.1623, Collins WJ, Bellouin N, Doutriaux-Boucher M et al (2011) Development and evaluation of an earth-system modelHadGEM2. Similarly, Tsidu (2012) evaluated the spatio-temporal reliability of CRU and other gridded data sets using rainfall records of 233 gauge stations over Ethiopia for the 19782007, and found statistically significant correlations of 0.810.95 over central and northern Ethiopia, 0.660.80 over western and southeastern Ethiopia, and 0.520.65 over other parts of the country. The warming trends in the maximum and minimum temperatures for Basona Werana and Efratana Gidim, respectively, are statistically significant at p = .05 and p = .01 levels. The result showed that the highest change in maximum temperature ranged from 2.93 C to 5.17 C in monthly time scales in the 2080s. Both models poorly represent the statistically significant teleconnections, except that HadGEM2 and the low resolution (N96) version of HadGEM3-GA3.0 better represent the association between the IOD and S-Ethiopian ON rainfall. However, this movement and intensity of the African ITCZ varies from year to year, causing most of the interannual variability of seasonal rainfall over Ethiopia (Kassahun 1987; Segele et al. trailer We identify three seasons (MarchMay, MAM; JulySeptember, JAS; and OctoberNovember, ON), which are similar to those defined by climatological rainfall totals. Projected change in the intensity (mm/day) of rainfall on a . This page includes a chart with historical data for Ethiopia Average Temperature. The amount of rainfall varies spatially within the country and within different regions in the country. The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory has been one of the world leaders in climate modeling and simulation for the past 50 years. Although the days are clear and sunny, be prepared for the fact that nighttime temperatures can dip as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius). Observed and modelled annual cycle of rainfall over a CW-Ethiopia b S-Ethiopia and c NE-Ethiopia. Ethiopia has a high central plateau that varies from 1,290 to 3,000 m (4,232 to 9,843 ft) above sea level, with the highest mountain reaching 4,533 . We produced maps of the local correlations from five SST indicesrepresenting the main tropical modes of variabilityto gridded monthly and seasonal rainfall over Ethiopia. Reg Environ Change 14:799810. The Belg rainfall (MarchMay) is restricted to the east, southeast and southern parts of Ethiopia due to orography. Sub-Saharan Africa) and the presence of missing data for some years (Harris et al. The CRU monthly rainfall data set has also been used for more detailed teleconnection analysis over Upper Blue Nile Region (Zaroug et al. On the other hand, over the tropical Atlantic Ocean (Gulf of Guinea), the positive SST association with ON Rainfall that is simulated by HadGEM2 is nonexistent in the observations (Fig. During Belg (DecemberFebruary), the ITCZ is located well south of Ethiopia and the country predominantly falls under the influence of dry warm and cool northeasterly winds. Similarly, the SST over southern Indian Ocean shows some significant and negative correlation with the CW-Ethiopia JAS rainfall. Heavy precipitation events in most parts of the United States have increased in both intensity and frequency since 1901 (high confidence).There are important regional differences in trends, with the largest increases occurring in the northeastern United States (high confidence).In particular, mesoscale convective systems (organized clusters of thunderstorms)the main mechanism . Then, these correlation maps were visually compared against the observed teleconnection plots shown in Fig. doi:10.5194/gmd-4-723-2011, Mitchell TD, Jones PD (2005) An improved method of constructing a database of monthly climate observations an associated high-resolution grids. The first type is composed of euritic nitosols and andosols and is found on portions of the Western and Eastern highlands. Inter-annual variability of the change in rainfall has shown increasing and decreasing patterns. 2009a). Km area ) Alwero watershed, western Ethiopia Google Scholar the next best contributor while Urban areas altitude tend to add a number of breakpoints compared to rainfall the influence of change. ) This study suggests the need for an integrated assessment and enhancement of adaptive capacity with all its components rather than focusing only on asset possession as an indicator of adaptive capacity. Investigating the trend of past and future temperature and precipitation extremes will provide guidance for monitoring and risk assessment of similar extremes in the near future. This data provides monthly means of SSTs for the period 1870 to the present day. 3.1), we identified three broader teleconnected rainfall regions (Fig. Int J Climatol 28:16271638. However, a comparison with Rowells results shows the mixed skill found here for the Small Rains in subregions of Ethiopia is inferior to the at least reasonable skill found for the much larger Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) region. It is bordered by Eritrea to the north, Djibouti and Somalia to the east, Sudan and South Sudan to the west, and Kenya to the south. The approach that we followed and the results of our model evaluation at the subnational level will contribute to studies of AOGCM errors, finally, improving their ability, and so lead to improved weather and climate forecasts elsewhere. Moreover, large (global) atmospheric circulation and sea surface temperatures, such as large-scale forcing through El Nio Southern Oscillation, Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, as well as west-east sea surface temperature gradients over the equatorial Indian Ocean are significantly influencing rainfall variability ( Omondi et al. 3a, b (and also with those not shown). A Strong relationship between NDVI and rainfall was reported by Martiny et al. 0000151832 00000 n Climate projections for Ethiopia are presented in Box 1. 0000004484 00000 n xref H\n0 EJVb~4y N r"o?># R;w\3!LmtmLWs,O.4dU_uwicx m?%+zpJA{} .=tOi'~zAfhuHUoXgoYUH%o;.r1s:%.%xI^,`O`%+s-10S)d The IOD and CIndO SSTs are also negatively associated with JAS rainfall, but this relationship is restricted to the western part of the country. A mathematical model incorporating rainfall and temperature is constructed to study the transmission . 2006; Saji and Yamagata 2003) show that anomalous warming (cooling) over the equatorial East Pacific and Indian Ocean are associated with enhanced (suppressed) rainfall amounts in this wider region. The soils of Ethiopia can be classified into five principal types. 2.2. Ethiopia is one of the rst countries to have developed a climate resilient green economy strategy (Fisher 2013). PubMedGoogle Scholar. The empirical analysis also confirmed that the basin losses a total of about 89.6 Mt of soil annually. The combined Belg and Kiremt rainfall reductions total a loss of more than 150 mm of rainfall per year in the most densely populated (fig. Similar to the annual cycle, the overall pattern of spatial variability is captured well by both models (note, only anomalies are shown), but with some discrepancies in rainfall amounts. 2009b). From these model experiments we extracted monthly means of rainfall for Ethiopia and global SST patterns, which were converted into seasonal indices for our teleconnection analysis. Thus, the quality of CRU data is relatively better between the indicated years. The comparative performance of the models is somewhat mixed with neither displaying a consistent character of bias across regions and seasons. Both maximum and minimum temperatures showed an increasing trend; the increase in mean maximum temperature ranges between 1.55C and 6.07C and that of the mean minimum temperature ranges from 0.11C and 2.81C. 0000002033 00000 n This illustrates the complex spatially variable impacts on local climatology of improvements in model physics and resolution. Nature 385:516518. Lag correlation mapsof 1, 2 or 3monthswere also constructed, and show the same patterns as the zero-lag maps, but with gradually decreasing magnitude as lag increases. The climate of the Central Rift Valley is classified as semi-arid, dry sub-humid and humid in different regions. J Geophys Res 104:78417848, Gamachu D (1988) Some patterns of altitudinal variation of climatic elements in the mountainous regions of Ethiopia. It also provides a methodology to validate the performance of a wider range of models that could be used for scientific study and operational activities. More information: Rod X, Martinez PP, Siraj A and Pascual M. Malaria trends in Ethiopian highlands track the 2000 'slowdown' in global warming.Nature Communications. Also, this region is known for its dry climate during this season. Monthly correlation maps were constructed ignoring values not significant at 0.5 level. Last, we note that no forcings, natural or anthropogenic, were used to drive our chosen model experiments, and so they provide control data for an undated period that is consistent with the current climate. Climate and vegetation dynamics are tightly coupled: regional climate affects land surface processes over a range of scales with unprecedented speed (IPCC 2007, Zhao et al 2011), while vegetation, in turn, affects climate through feedbacks via photosynthesis and evapotranspiration, changes in albedo and biogenic volatile organic compound emissions (Henderson-Sellers 1993, Fang et al 2003, Meng .

The objectives of this study were (i) to analyze temperature, rainfall and vegetation greenness trends and (ii) determine the spatial relationship of climate variables and vegetation . In analyzing the results, the researchers found that we'll likely cross threshold for dangerous warming (+1.5 C) between 2027 and 2042. - 81.89.100.63. 200 0 obj <>stream this brief report, drawing from a multi-year effort by the u.s. agency for international development (usaid) famine early warning systems network (fews net), examines recent trends in march-june, june-september, and march-september rainfall and temperature, identifying significant reductions in rainfall and increases in temperature over time in 65 weather stations in the state of Yucatan and surrounding areas were used. Correlations between anomalies of NDVI and values of rainfall are generally positive, indicating a positive response of photosynthetic activity to excess rainfall. Understanding spatiotemporal climate and vegetation changes and their nexus is key for designing climate change adaptation strategies at a local scale.
