Rainfall characteristics, rainfall reliability and the definition of drought : Baringo District, Kenya
Differing assessments of drought and reliable rainfall by upland cultivators and lowland pastoralists, were compared with the rainfall records of the Baringo District, Kenya. - (AJC)

Spatial and temporal rainfall variability over South Africa, 1963 to 1981
The suggestion that the 1970s would be characterised by above-normal rainfall is examined and found to be valid. Spatial and temporal rainfall variations within this period and the preceding dry period are discussed, and the relationship between
the magnitude of rainfall deviations and spatial coverage of rainfall is considered. (AJC).

The progress of rainfall seasons in South Africa
Mean data from 200 stations in South Africa have been used to determine month-by-month rainfall changes. From this the progress of both the Summer and Winter rainfall seasons is traced. (W. A. Nieman).

The annual rainfall cycle over the central interior of South Africa
Satellite imagery and surface rainfall records are used to develop statistics of Orange Free State rainfall for several types of synoptic systems. Cloud bands linking the tropical and temperate circulations were the major individual contributors
. Harmonic analysis reveals that cloud band rainfall determines the annual rainfall cycle over the region. (AJC).

A preliminary study of the estimation of rainfall erosivity values for Ciskei in Proceedings.
The relationship between daily rainfall and EI 30 was established for the four available autographic stations. These relationships were used to determine EI 30 values for fifty daily rainfall stations in Ciskei. - (AJC)

Winter rainfall over the interior of South Africa during extreme dry years
It is hypothesised that, during extreme dry years, rainfall over the interior of southern Africa will increase due to the equatorward shift of the circumpolar westerlies. - (AJC)

Vector analysis as a means of indicating rainfall seasonality in the Transvaal
This paper describes and evaluates the use of vector analysis for indicating rainfall seasonality. Three advantages pertaining to the use of the technique for regionalization are pinpointed.-(AJC)

Rainfall and precipitable water relationships over the Central Interior of South Africa
The relationships between atmospheric precipitable water, precipitation efficiency and rainfall over the western Orange Free State are examined and conclusions drawn. - (AJC)

The diurnal, seasonal and annual patterns of hail days are examined. Hail day frequency appears to be inversely related to rainfall periodicity in the main summer rainfall region. - (AJC)

Analysis of rainfall probabilities to determine maize species suitability : an agrometeorological study of Zambia

Mean annual fluctuations of precipitation in the Summer rainfall region of South Africa

Rainfall in Sierra Leone

Comparison of rainfall time series over South Africa generated from real data and through principal component analysis
Time series (scores) of rainfall from cloud bands across South Africa, generated through principal component analysis, are compared with equivalent estimated time series developed from satellite imagery and surface data. For most summer months

The anomalies of rainfall spatial distribution in Cameroon during the 1969-1973 dry period point out the defects of the monsoon which means defects of the austral atmospheric dynamics. To the shortage of the Sahelian extreme North which depends upon
monsoon heavy summer rainfalls is opposed rainfall excess in the inland areas with a bimodal rainfall curve where storms were more intensive than usual during the spring and went on through the summer.
