Gamoyo, Majambo Jarumani Reason, Chris Applied Marine Science Includes bibliographical references. This study explores inter-annual rainfall variability over the East African coast region (Kenya and Tanzania) for the period 1980-2010 and focuses on dry and wet spell characteristics during the two rainy seasons. The atmospheric and ocean conditions associated with the rainfall variability are also considered. Extreme occurrences of rainfall variable can result in droughts and floods which in turn may lead to socioeconomic disruptions. East Africa is highly dependent and vulnerable to the amounts and timing of rainfall. 2014-12-30T06:53:04Z 2014-12-30T06:53:04Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10571 eng application/pdf Department of Oceanography Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
