A model study of the interannual variability of Tanzanian rainfall
… and Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP). The vector windsclimatology at 850hPa and 200hPa reveals some comparable patterns in both HadAM3 andNCEP. However, there are indications that the Somali Jet appears earlier and the monsooneasterly winds over the western Indian Ocean are …

A mixed-methods study of the impact of simulation-based education on the general practice clinical pharmacist in NHS Scotland.
… course on general practice clinical pharmacists (GPCPs). This study employed an initial set of quantitative data collection and analysis, using questionnaires, an adapted Tolerance of Ambiguity in Medical Students and Doctors (TAMSAD) scoring tool and qualitative analysis through interviews and …

Vegetation change in response to climate extremes in Limpopo Province, South Africa
… Extreme climate characterisation was done using GPCP precipitation, maximum temperature, and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), whilst MODIS satellite was used for land use/ land cover change and vegetation response. To analyse vegetation response to extreme weather …

Improving Global Satellite Precipitation Products Utilizing Machine Learning
… as the Global Precipitation Climatology Project; GPCP) in high latitudes (i.e., poleward of 60°S/N). The possibility of mitigating the latency gap of satellite precipitation products through deep-learning-based nowcasting is also investigated in this dissertation.IMERG is the most popular product …

Spatiotemporal Variability of CO2, Solar-Induced Fluorescence, And Precipitation Over the Tropical Rainforests
… CO2, Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) precipitation, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) burned area, and CarbonTracker Model. Over the entire Amazon basin from September 2014 to December 2019, we found a positive temporal correlation (0.94) between OCO-2 SIF and GPCP …

Simulating the characteristics of tropical cyclones over the South West Indian Ocean using an adaptive Stretched-Grid Global Climate Model
… Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) satellite data, and ERA-Interim (ERAINT) reanalysis data. The study also considers the impact of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and the South Atlantic Subtropical Dipole (SASD) on TC counts over the SWIO.

Capability of CORDEX RCMs in simulating extreme rainfall events over South africa
… compared to two observation datasets (TRMM and GPCP), and to ERAINT rainfall data to understand whether these RCMs improve on the results from ERAINT. A self organizing map (SOM) was used to characterize WEREs identified in all the datasets into archetypal groups, and ERAINT data is used to …

Rainfall variability over southern Africa
… during austral summer is investigated using GPCP observational data. Correlation analysis is generally in agreement with previous studies and showed that dry day frequency(DDF) over the Limpopo and North East Zambia regions is correlated with ENSO, while DDF over coastal northern Angola and …

Simulating the Characteristics and Influences of the Botswana High over Southern Africa using the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS)
… (Global Precipitation Climatology Project, GPCP), and reanalysis datasets (Climate Forecast System Reanalysis, CFSR; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA; and ERA-Interim reanalysis 5, ERA5). To investigate the response of the Botswana High to ENSO, this thesis carried …
