An analysis of anomalously wet summers in the South Western Cape of South Africa
… essential in drought recovery. Anomalously wet summers, which typically contain more LREs than average, are also mostly associated with cooler temperatures and less extreme hot days (90% decile). Rainfall totals are inversely correlated (r=-0.44) with extreme hot days. In addition, extreme hot …

Numerical modelling of the Angola Low and the Botswana High during a neutral and two El Ni˜no summers
… on rainfall patterns during ENSO and non-ENSO summers may vary. In simple terms, a weaker Angola Low is expected to lead to decreased rainfall as is a stronger Botswana High. This study looks at the monthly evolution of the Angola Low and the Botswana High during the neutral summer of 2012/13 …

Atmospheric circulation and sea surface temperature anomalies during the dry summers of 2001/02, 2002/03 and 2003/04 in Southern Africa
Drought is a phenomenon associated with the lack or shortage of water. It means less than normal or no water is available. It primarily originates from lack of precipitation. Lack of precipitation leads to depletion of storage of I. soil moisture that results in dry land crop failure and dying-off …

Summer sea surface temperature variability off Vancouver Island from satellite data, 1984-1991
… Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data over eight summers (1984-1991) were used to analyze the summer SST patterns of variability off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis of the spatial variance for 133 nearly cloud-free summer images was performed. The …
