-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)This thesis investigates the effects of meteorological drought on Southern African biomes using remotely sensed rainfall and vegetation data. To achieve this objective, a review of studies on meteorological drought impact ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)Climatologically, the Cape south coast is unique in the sense that it lacks the pronounced seasonality observed over the remainder of South Africa. Here, rainfall occurs all-year round, implying that rainfall-producing ...
