(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Mauritius is a typical tropical volcanic island with a distinct elevated central plateau above 550 m.a.s.l. Rainfall depth, duration, intensity, kinetic energy, and erosivity were analysed for 385 erosive rainfall events ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)A study of rainfall trends and temporal variations within seven sub- basins of Uganda spanning from 1940 to 2009 has been made. Rainfall climatologies are constructed from observational data, using 36 station records ...
