Developing an efficient climate forecasting model for the spatiotemporal climate dynamics estimation and the prediction that fits the variable topography feature of the upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia.

The spatiotemporal climate estimation and prediction are challenging and demanding for variable topography feature areas. Spatially, the upper Blue Nile basin (UBNB) is unsatisfactory owing to complex topographical features and the lack of accurate climate prediction and estimation models. Yet accurate information and reliable seasonal climate dynamics estimation and forecasting are essential in the region for controlling reservoir operation and flooding prevention.

Modeling cloud seeding technology for rain enhancement over the arid and semiarid areas of Ethiopia.

The government of Ethiopia has started exploring different innovative approaches to tackle the scarcity of water in arid and semi-arid regions of the country. In line with this strategy, precipitation enhancement through weather modification technology is getting strong attention and some initial attempts have been made to assess its feasibility. Therefore, this paper aims to model cloud-seeding technology for rain enhancement and check its effectiveness in arid and semiarid regions of Ethiopia.
