Socio-economic Survey for Smallholder Farmers of Lake Cyohoha North Catchment, Rwanda, 2019
The data was collected in the catchment of Lake Cyohoha North to analyze socio-economic impact that the change in Land use/cover and lake degradation have had on smallholder farmers living within this catchment.

Bias-Corrected and raw CORDEX-AFRICA daily precipitation for Burkina Faso - CCCma-CanESM2_historical_r1i1p1_SMHI-RCA4_v1 - Historical Period (19500101-20051231)
Bias-corrected data set of daily precipitation for a study region in Burkina Faso and parts of Ghana, Togo and Benin. The precipitation simulations of the CORDEX Africa ensemble have been bias-corrected with a geostatistically based Quantile-Mapping with dry day correction. The distribution parameters probability of rainfall and mean precipitation on wet days were Kriged to the ungauged locations from the observed parameters of point measurements (172 stations in total) for nine season (dry season NDJF and remaining eight months individually). Observed precipitation was modelled with the exponential distribution, RCM precipitation was modeled with a Kernel Density Estimation of the CDF. Future scenarios were bias-corrected with the Double-Quantile-Mapping approach presented in http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2010WR009689/abstract All models were stretched to the Gregorian calendar (original CORDEX-RCMs are available as 360d/a, 365d/a and 365.25d/a) to facilitate running impact models. - Historical period: 1950-2005 (exception: SMHI-models start 1951) - calibration period - Future period: 2006-2100 (exception: models driven by HadGEM2 end 2099) - validation period - Temporal resolution: daily - Spatial resolution: 0.44° This is a test version - please inform me about any potential problems you may have with the data via manuel.lorenz@geo.uni-augsburg.de

The study region is sparsely gauged. To avoid bias correcting with remote stations, the observed distribution at the ungauged locations was estimated by Kriging the parameters of the exponential distribution (probability of rainfall and mean precipitation on wet days) from 172 stations to the centers of 173 grid cells. The distribution parameters were calculated and interpolated for nine seasons (dry season NDJF and remaining eight months individually). With the interpolated parameters, virtual observations were simulated for the period 1950-2005 at every location. RCM precipitation was fitted with a Kernel Density Estimated CDF for the period 1950-2005. Future precipitation uses the historical RCM CDF (Double-Quantile-Mapping: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2010WR009689/abstract) and the same threshold for the dry day correction as in the historical period. This procedure leads to a different distribution of precipitation in the future period (climate change signal).
Daily Outputs for Surface Downwelling Shortwave Radiation of the High Resolution (12km) Regional Climate Model Simulations (WRF-HADGEM2) over West Africa, 1980 - 2009 (WASCAL Project)
High resolution (12km) regional climate simulations were carried out by the researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research, Atmospheric Environmental Research (KIT/IMK-IFU) as part of the West Africa Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) Project. One of the goals of the WASCAL project is to provide the best accuracy in regional climate simulations over the entire West Africa region for a large proportion of the 21st century. The regional climate model employed in the project was the Weather Research and Forecasting Model version 3.5.1 (WRFv3.5.1) forced by three global circulation models (GCMs) under the Representative Concentrative Pathways 4.5 (RCP 4.5). The forcing GCMs are: the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM-MR, Stevens et al. 2013), the General Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Earth System Model (GFDL-ESM2M, Dunne et al. 2012), and the Hadley Global Environment Model (HadGEM2-ES, Collins et al. 2011). Further control runs with ERA-Interim reanalysis products (Dee et al. 2011) were also carried out for model verification and bias correction. Therefore, de-accumulated daily outputs of surface downwelling shortwave radiation, obtained from the 3-hourly simulations of WRFv3.5.1, driven by HadGEM2-ES, are hereby presented.
