## Abstract The effect of global warming (represented by general circulation model monthly rainfall predictions) on the daily rainfall distribution is investigated using a mixed Gamma distribution to estimate the change of rainfall quantiles. A mixed distribution is used to overcome the limitation

## Abstract An important limitation of commonly used singleโsite rainfall models is that they are not able to reflect spatial characteristics, while many impact studies demand the accommodation of spatial rainfall correlations. As a result, a number of stochastic models have been developed to produ
## Abstract The analysis of the physical processes involved in a conceptual model of soil water content balance is addressed with the objective of its application as a component of rainfallโrunoff modelling. The model uses routinely measured meteorological variables (rainfall and air temperature) a
## Abstract The aim of this study is to model rainfall amounts on a daily basis by fitting a smooth curve to the mean rainfall __per__ rainy day. The rainfall amounts are described as gamma distributions with smoothing parameters. The smoothing technique used is the approach of the Fourier series.
## Abstract Experiments with the GISS general circulation model are analysed to evaluate the differential impact of the contrastingly different 1984 and 1950 seaโsurface temperature (SST) patterns on simulated precipitation over subโSaharan Africa. Simulations yielded significantly lower August rai
## Abstract Surface moisture supply is known to be a factor which can be important in triggering convection. This paper aims to investigate its impact on shortโrange numerical forecasts of tropical rainfall. The ECMWF (European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts) operational forecasting mod
