**10% level of significant. Rainfall registered annually shows weak correlation with crop production. Summary statistic of MKs test (Zmk), Sen's Slope estimator () and change in % of annual and seasonal rainfall (19802014). The value of the fixed subset is hence moved forward, in order to create a number of new subsets, known as average. 2015; Wagesho & Yohannes 2016). Therefore, clear information about the annual and seasonal rainfall distribution is highly important for policy planners and local users. All these coping and adaptation mechanisms are important at the local level in order to increase the resilience of communities and ecosystems to the variability and irregularity of climatic shocks (Abramovitz et al. Our analyses demonstrate that there will be an increase in precipitation intensity and a decrease in frequency over Zambia from the middle of the 21st century. Both duration and amount ofrainfall decreases as we move from southwest to north and eastwards. The spatiotemporal rainfall and temperature distribution are presented in Figures4 and 5 respectively. Soil management: Soil erosion and degradation reduces crop productivity for traditional farming practices (particularly for mountainous area like the Beressa watershed), as erosion and degradation occurs at a higher rate than fertile soil formation. 2016). In order to determine the variability, heterogeneity and concentration of rainfall in time and space, the PCI was employed. The period from March to May, as often happens in Ethiopia, is the warmest of the year, albeit by a few degrees. Among 38 studies, only eight studies assessed the association of VBDs with climatic variables. Conversely, the southeasterlies from the Indian Ocean provide rain to the highlands ofSomalia, and to the central and southeastern lowlands and highlands of Ethiopia. Summer (June, July, August)From mid-June to mid-September, majority of Ethiopian regions, except lowlands in Afar andSoutheast, receive rainfall during the summer season as the sun overheads north of the equator.High pressure cells develop on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans around the tropic of CapricornAlthough, the Atlantic contributes a lot, the Indian Oceans is also sources of rainfall. Conversely, low flow conditions will intensify during the warm months. Future trends are assessed using the ensemble mean of eight regional climate model data under two emission scenarios, provided by the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX). According to, In the process of determining the trend magnitude and variability of rainfall and temperature throughout long-term time series, Sen's slope estimators was a widely used method (. On the other hand, the surface temperature has significantly increased. (2012) found that due to global climate change the eastern part of Africa, including Ethiopia, was drying out. This study assessed the historical (1983-2005) and future (2026-2100) rainfall, maximum temperature (Tmax), and minimum temperature (Tmin) trends of the Ziway Lake Basin (Ethiopia). The rate and variability of increasing temperature have dramatically increased, making it more difficult for local communities to foresee the intensity and magnitude of temperature even for the next few years. 2015). When the tropical depression is observed in the SWIO, the daily rainfall is significantly decreased. . 2001; Kurukulasuriya & Mendelsohn 2008). The results of correlation analysis between crop production and climatic variables (rainfall and temperature) during the period 19972014 are shown in Table5. Following the directness of the Sun inMarch and September around the equator, the ITCZ shifts towards equator. Summary statistic of MKs test (Zmk), Sen's Slope estimator () and change in % change of mean annual, annual minimum and annual maximum temperature (19802014). Correlation between crop production, and rainfall and temperature (19972014). Therefore, the projected rainfall and temperature have been corrected for biases by using empirical Quantile Mapping. The variation for the belg season is presented in Figure2. The impact of climate change is a global threat, and its effect is more pronounced in developing countries. 2010 ). Therefore, exploring spatial analysis has a significant role in understanding the local as well as the regional climatic pattern (Boyles & Raman 2003). 5.3.1. To encompass the system, it needs an understanding of the position of Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITC), pressure cells, and Trade Winds. Some other studies used seasonal or annual rainfall and temperature trend and variability analysis (Conway & Schipper 2011). From Figure3, it is confirmed that the maximum temperature has continuously increased by about 1.10 C, whereas the minimum temperature has increased by about 0.70 C. The annual maxima of 1 d and consecutive 5 d precipitation are also projected to increase. This is particularly the case for the local community, whose economy is susceptible to variability and the erratic nature of rainfall and water shortage; recurrent drought is a common phenomenon. Thus, the rainfall system in Ethiopia is characterized by spatial and temporal variabilities. 2007; Fu et al. Significantly, the increasing long-term annual minimum and maximum temperature during the study periods indicates that it is more likely this would contribute to the increase of mean annual temperature. Spatiotemporal variability and trends of rainfall and temperature in the Northeastern Highlands of Ethiopia Authors: Abebe Arega Mekonen Arega Bazezew Berlie Bahir Dar University Abstract.

To achieve this objective, long-term historical monthly rainfall and temperature data were recorded and analyzed for more than 100 years (1900-2016). Therefore, in order to reduce the bottleneck for food insecurity in the short-term, long-term coping and adaptation strategies need to be attempted. The long-term rainfall trend was assessed monthly, seasonally i.e. Rock and Mineral Resources of Ethiopia, CHAPTER THREE THE TOPOGRAPHY OF ETHIOPIA AND THE HORN, 3.2. In this study, we analyse global climate models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CMIP3) and phase 5 (CMIP5) archives to investigate the qualitative aspects of change and trends in temperature and precipitation indices. The moving average is possibly acquired by considering the initial subset average. 2011). The MK test, Sen's slope and precipitation concentration index (PCI) were applied. Thus temperature, as it is affected by altitude, decreasestowards the interior highlands. 33 days from submission to first decision on average. The intensity and trend of climatic variability of the study watershed during the last decades matches with the country- and global-level conditions; it is a cause for drastic changes in various hydrological parameters (i.e. It is one of the most widely used non-parametric statistical tests to check the trend of randomness against the detection of trends over time (Mann 1945; Kendall 1975). This report compiles information from a wide variety of data and information sources. Seasonal or Temporal VariabilitiesWhat winds bring summer rainfall for Ethiopian highlands?The rainfall is highly variable both in amount and distribution across regions and seasons.The seasonal and annual rainfall variations are results of the macro-scale pressure systemsand monsoon flows which are related to the changes in the pressure systems discussed in theprevious sections of this chapter. 2012; Meshesha et al. For the kiremit (summer season), the main rainfall source is the northward oscillation of ITCZ and the development of high-pressure systems along the southern Atlantic as well as South Indian Oceans. In view of this, the incidence of food shortage is a common occurrence. The average rainfallvaries from less than 500 to 1,000 mm.iv. The spatial distribution of temperature in Ethiopia is primarily determined by altitude andlatitude. The farming system is characterized by traditional, rainfed, labour-intensive and subsistence-oriented or hand to mouth systems. Time series of all MMA precipitation indices exhibit significant increasing trends over the 19012099 period. The minimum temperatures increased at a higher rate than the maximum temperatures during winter, summer, autumn and also at the annual timescale. Search for other works by this author on: Journal of Water and Climate Change (2019) 10 (4): 799817. Some of the studies conducted are based on areal averages of spatial climatic variability (Seleshi & Demaree 1995; Osman & Sauerborn 2001).

Continuously increasing temperature, together with the variability and fluctuation of seasonal and inter-annual rainfall is a root cause for the decrease and fluctuation of crop production. Here are the average temperatures. Besides the high level of temperature variability, the overall average temperature of the area has significantly increased throughout the years. All year-round rainfall regionIt has many rainy days than any part of the country. Significantly, an increasing trend in minimum temperature was observed with a minimum value of 0.005 C/year in GIN station to a maximum value of 0.12 C/year in DBS station. This From all these five-year moving averages, long-term seasonal rainfall apart from in the bega season showed a positive trend during the 35-year period. All the given crops show considerably high correlation with belg rainfall. In line with Rashid et al. The analysis of vulnerability related to climate changes in Ethiopia implies that in the coming decades climate variability and volatility will threaten the social and economic order (damage to natural resources, agricultural productivity, water resources and ecosystems); therefore, the incidence and intensity of drought and famine occurrence is likely to increase. The results revealed that the magnitude of significantly increasing trend and variability was observed in mean annual rainfall for DB station (at 0.28 mm/year and 1.07%). Density distribution plots of observed climate indices for meteorological stations and gridded indices are also analysed, which indicate significant negative trends in the annual number of frost days and significant increasing trends in warm nights in the EH region over the 19602000 period. The magnitude of the linear trends is estimated using the Sen's slope estimator and Mann-Kendall's test is performed to check the statistical significance of the trends. Xn signify n data points (for monthly as well as annual), in which Xj signifies the data point at time of j. 2013; Muhire & Ahmed 2015). The Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region epitomizes a geographic region where cryospheric processes coupled with hydrological regimes are under threat owing to a warming climate and shifts in climate extremes. Extreme precipitation and streamflow events are expected to become more frequent. Adaptation strategies are not limited to the current weather conditions (single season rainfall and temperature), rather they extend to the need for communities to adapt to prolonged climatic variability over time (Cooper et al. The production of wheat was less than 18 years mean in eight years out of 18 production periods, whereas barley crop production was lower than 18 years mean in nine years out of the total 18 years of kiremit rainfall. Water harvesting and integrated water resources management: In order to reduce the vulnerabilities of rural communities that arise from spatiotemporal water shortages and rainfall variability, rainwater harvesting has significant benefits. Geological Processes and the Resulting Landforms of Ethiopia and the Horn, 2.5. The monthly rainfall data are for 132 points of 10 10 km grids reconstructed from weather stations and meteorological satellite observations, which cover the period between 1983 and 2013. The most common types of soil are Cambisols (locally called Abolse), Vertisols (Merere), Andosols, Fluvisols and Regosols. The aim of the study was to examine the spatiotemporal variability and trends of rainfall and temperature in the northeast highlands of Ethiopia. The average annual aerial rainfall of the Beressa watershed is 891 mm, with a coefficient variation of 30.6% and standard deviation of 227 mm. 2011; Pachauri et al. Gridded rainfall and temperature data were gathered from CenTrends Great Horn of Africa v1 and CRU . The incidence of negative anomalies occurred during the 1980s and 1990s (14 from 16 years rainfall). Despite the importance of soil moisture, studies on soil moisture characteristics in Ethiopia are less documented. This statistical test is a popular and important tool in detecting the trend used by many other scholars for related applications (Hirsch et al. The percentage change over a period of time can be obtained from Sen's median slope and mean by assuming the linear trend in the long-term series using the following formula: In statistical terms, the moving average is also known as running average, used in order to explore a set of various data by creating an average value of various subsets for a data set. During this period,the Northeast Trade Winds carrying non-moisture-laden dominates the region. In contrast to the kiremit season, the five years' moving average annual rainfall of the bega season during the period 19802014 was highly variable. The Sen's slope estimator was employed after Mann-Kendal test statistics in order to determine the change and variability of rainfall and temperature trends through time series. The area is characterized by diverse topographic conditions such as mountainous and dissected terrain with steep slopes. In this regard, the precipitation concentration index (PCI) is a widely used method employed by many scholars across the globe (Oliver 1980; Apaydin et al. The majorcontrols determining its distributions are latitude and cloud cover. 5.3.2. Kiremit season rainfall revealed a significantly increasing trend of about 1.62 mm/year and 31.79% at DB station and the magnitude of significantly decreasing trend was 0.90 mm/year and 16.20% at SD station. Although there is a positive trend in the annual total rainfall, the number of consecutive wet (dry) days decreases (increases). With respect to the statistically significant level, only barley and wheat crops are significantly related to belg and kiremit rainfall. 2013; Pingale et al. The wetness of this region is particularly due to the prepotency of moist aircurrents of equatorial Westerlies called the Guinea Monsoons. The calculated PCI for seasonal as well as inter-annual rainfall distribution for the spatiotemporal time series is shown in Table2. (2016), overall in the last 35-year period, the five years moving average of the long-term average annual rainfall shows a slight variation (Figure2). Figure 1. Spatiotemporal Patterns and Distribution of Temperature and Rainfall in Ethiopia, 5.5. According to Al-Bakri et al. The guidelines for interpretation are presented in Table1. In the last few decades, incidence of climate change related hazards have manifested in the form of recurrent drought, erosive rain, rainfall variability and flood events (Kenabatho et al. As presented in Table3, the Sen's slope estimator indicates an upward trend in four stations and a downward trend in three stations for annual rainfall. The present study aimed to undertake spatiotemporal analysis of seasonal and annual rainfall and temperature and its implications. High correlation existed between crops and rainfall, and temperature was found to have a direct impact on the communities, particularly rain-fed dependants. 2014; Mondal et al. The capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, is located at an elevation of 7,726 feet, and as such its climate remains relatively cool throughout the year. Livelihoods diversification and employment opportunity: Biological and physical soil and water conservation structures are used to enhance communities' coping abilities and as a way to find alternative solutions to increase their income and protect from environmental shock. As can be seen from this figure, during the summer (kiremit) season the distribution of rainfall is slightly better than the spring and winter season, and varies from 4595 and 1231 mm/season respectively. Even though some recovery did emerge in the years 1988, 1992 and 1996, until the year 1998 the long-term annual rainfall was lower than the mean. This process is repeated for the whole data sequence. After visual identification of the outliers, each of the values was obtained using a normal ratio technique. Elsewhere, in other parts of Ethiopia, similar conclusions are reached by Merasha (1999) and Seleshi & Zanke (2004) that the bega and belg rainfall seasons are more highly variable than the main rainy season (kiremit season). The elevation ranges from 2,747 to 3,674 m a.s.l. The steepness of these trends generally falls between 0.22 and 0.47 on Sens slope estimator at a significance level of 5%. In kiremit season, rain is essential but it extends to the bega season during the harvesting stage. For instance, the variability, intensity and duration of temperature and rainfall affect crop production, especially for developing countries, particularly sub-Saharan countries in which the livelihoods of the population are dependent on subsistence and rainfed farming (Hulme et al. Soil moisture is one of the essential climate variables with a potential impact on local climate variability. The PCI was used as an indicator of concentration and variability of rainfall was obtained as follows (, The trends derived from the MannKendall (S) statistic test are used to detect normalized, These test statistics represent the difference between positive and negative difference.

Observed Data seasonal, mean annual rainfall including the mean, minimum and maximum temperature spatiotemporal trend as well as its impacts on crop production at the Beressa watershed from 19802014 (35 years). The rainfall and temperature daily records over 35 years (19802014) for the Beressa watershed were obtained from the National Meteorological Service Agency of Ethiopia from seven stations; hence rainfall on a monthly, seasonal and annual basis were derived from the daily data. The problem is high in developing countries, particularly sub-Saharan countries in which the majority of the population live on rainfed agriculture. The monthly maximum and minimum temperatures are for the same points and girds, but cover the period 1981-2011. The possible reason may be monthly, sub-monthly time scale, temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall and temperature, which are determinant factors of production. Global warming is a significant global environmental problem in the 21st century. Therefore, long-term analysis of climatic trends has been used to characterize the situations (Singh et al. (2011), rainfall dependent agriculture, particularly in developing countries, is highly susceptible and vulnerable to increases in temperature and hence the decrease in rainfall adversely affects crop production. The region is divided in to dry and wet summer rainfall regions.Hence, the wet corresponds to the area having rainfall of 1,000 mm or more. The MannKendall test results showed that the annual and seasonal rainfall trend was highly variable. They are limited to the lowlands in the peripheries.Away from the peripheries the land begins to rise gradually and considerably, culminating inpeaks in various parts of the country. Conversely, low temperatures are recorded fromNovember to February.It is not easy to observe distinct variation in temperature between seasons as the sun is alwayshigh in the tropics.

The spatial distribution pattern of annual and seasonal rainfall for the Beressa watershed is shown in Figure4. Journal of Geophysical Research D: Atmospheres. 2006; Rashid et al. **10% level of significance. The temporal variabilities of rainfall are characterized by;i. The Mann-Kendall test results showed that the annual and seasonal rainfall trend was highly variable. What causes climate change? Therefore, in order to know the yields, annual rainfall is less important for prediction. Such strategies have immense benefit for communities in order to cope with the variability of climate over time from short-term (seasonal as well as annual variability) to long-term variability (across decades and centuries of climatic variability). Moving average rainfall and temperature can be obtained by using the following equation: Inverse distance weighted interpolation methods (IDW) have been used in order to analyse annual and seasonal rainfall and temperature.
