Climate and extreme rainfall events in the Mono river basin (West Africa): investigating future changes with Regional Climate Models.
2020
This study characterizes the future changes in extreme rainfall and air temperature in the Mono river basin where the main economic activity is weather dependent and local populations are highly vulnerable to natural hazards, including flood inundations. Daily precipitation and temperature from observational datasets and Regional Climate Models (RCMs) output from REMO, RegCM, HadRM3, and RCA were used to analyze climatic variations in space and time, and fit a GEV model to investigate the extreme rainfalls and their return periods. The results indicate that the realism of the simulated climate in this domain is mainly controlled by the choice of the RCMs. These RCMs projected a 1 to 1.5 °

7 pages; International audience; Application of a conceptual model to analysis of dynamic hydrometeorological flood in a pool - side in tropicalmoist environment : the case of Mono river. The objective of this study is to analyze the dynamics of the basinhydrometeorological and distribution of incoming flood dam Nangbéto to assess the risk of flooding in the lower valley of theriver. The data used are: daily flows of Mono (m3.s-1) and Nangbéto Athiémé, evapotranspiration (mm / day, calculatedaccording to the method Oudin et al., 2005) and the average precipitation over the basin (mm / day) covering the period1988- 2010. The method of spatial interpolation of rainfall tested is that of ordin…
