    Rough Winds: Extreme Weather and Climate Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min
    For the last few years, and especially in 2011, a new extreme weather event seems to pop up each week. Some decide to stick around: Texas and Oklahoma have been suffering from historic droughts for six months, with no sign of relief. No sooner does Hurricane Irene disappear than Tropical Storm Lee appears to flood Louisiana and stir up wildfires in nearby Texas. We seem beset by more, and more extreme, heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, torrential rainstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards than any of us can remember. Are we witnessing just the normal ups and downs of the weather or is the climate changing? This book arms listeners with the facts about the recent extreme weather so that they can answer that question for themselves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mirron Willis.

    Analysis of regional rainfall variations
    The analysis of rainfall is proposed over a period of 46 years. This study, which is based on data collected at three meteorological stations, namely Gisenyi, Kamembe in Rwanda and Lwiro in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has made it possible to calculate a certain number of indices, in particular the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), the Rainfall Deficit Index (IDP), the Rainfall Index (IP) and the Drought Index (SI). These indices revealed the extreme variability of rainfall in the Lake Kivu basin. They also show the character of the number of annual droughts as well as the rainy periods during this period.
