Thesis from WMO Fellowship Division
Thesis from WMO Fellowship Division
For several decades, through its fellowship programme, WMO has trained many experts from developing countries. Highly commendable theses/dissertations have been prepared by these fellows in partial fulfillment of requirements for their post-graduate studies.
Given the limited information available to experts and students alike on issues related to meteorology, hydrology and allied disciplines we wish to share as much research related information as possible, through the WMO online library, on the work of the postgraduate fellows. Hence, this online dissemination of excerpts of theses/dissertations prepared by WMO fellows.
We hope readers will find the materials useful. Should you have any inquires, please contact fel(at)wmo.int (Please replace (at) by @).

Wilbert Timiza Muruke - Kyoto University, 2012.Floods are a threat to many cities especially in the developing countries and cities found near the coastal areas where the population pressure, unplanned settlements and poor infrastructures are most evident. Climate change also poses a higher flood risks in these areas due to increased frequency...English
Ebrahim Mostafa Awatif, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (United States) - NOAA, 2012.Apart from the northern coast, most of Egypt is desert. However, the northern coastal region experiences some precipitation mainly during winter. We investigate the variability of wintertime (December, January and February) precipitation in North Egypt during the 30-yr interval 1976-2005 and its...English
Herbert Kikonyogo, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (United States) - NOAA, 2012.Uganda is located between latitudes 1.5 0 S to 4.5 0 N and longitudes 28o E to 35 0 E. It contains complex topography that includes large Lakes, Rivers, Great Rift Valley and Mountains, and supports varied wildlife of scientific and economic value. Due to its Equatorial location, this country is...English
Aaron Ntiranyibagira, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (United States) - NOAA, 2012.“The dominant pattern of Burundi rainfall is the seasonal move of the dominant Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), the Congo air mass and the interconnection with EL Nino/Southern oscillation (ENSO) phenomena. Much of Burundi experiences a bimodal seasonal distribution of rainfall with maxima...English
Samuel Edward Senkunda - Nairobi [Kenya] : University of Nairobi - Department of Meteorology, 2012.Rainfall products from operational algorithms like the TAMSAT and the NOAA CPC African Rainfall Estimate are being used for many diverse meteorological, climatological, hydrological, agricultural, and other applications. It is therefore important to have an idea of their accuracy and expected error...English
Mohammad Mahtab Hossain - Leibniz Universität, 2012.The effects of global environmental change, including coastal flooding stemming from storm surges as well as reduced rainfall in drylands and water scarcity, have detrimental effects on countries and megacities in the costal regions worldwide. Among these, Bangladesh with its capital Dhaka is today...English
Sandra Mongelos - Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, 2012.Paraguay is a very rich country in water resources, owing to generous rainfall regime, very favorable weather conditions and has significant water resources development potential. To promote planning and development of water resources in the country, systematic studies are required to understand...English
Gervais Didier Yontchang - University of Reading - Department of meteorology, 2012.Cameroon is located on the west coast of central Africa. It is home to about twenty millions inhabitants relying upon rain‐fed agriculture for food security. With the increasing pressure of climate change, other activities for sustainable development such as transport, energy, water, livestock...English
Ana Claudia Callau Poduje - Leibniz Universität, 2012.A bibliographic review of the state of art of flood estimation techniques shows the importance of studying floods as multivariate events. The aim of this work is to discuss whether a multivariate analysis is necessary for designing dams or for assessing the adequacy of spillways belonging to...English
Tayba Buddha Tamang - University of Reading - Department of meteorology, 2012.Bhutan is classified as one of the forty-eight least developed countries with farmers comprising more than two-thirds of its total population. The agriculture sector, which is a significant contributor to the country’s gross domestic product, has been vulnerable to extreme climate events in...English
Elisha N. Moyo - University of Reading - Department of meteorology, 2012.Aimed at understanding the physical mechanisms driving rainfall systems in southern Africa with a particular focus on Zimbabwe, this research is a step towards improving the representation of those systems in Climate Models leading to improved Rainfall projections. Because RCMs such as PRECIS are...English
Kenneth Anthony Kerr - University of Reading - Department of meteorology, 2012.To mitigate adverse effects of future extremes in climate in the extreme southern Caribbean and Trinidad and Tobago require a sound understanding of the science of the climate, along with realistic and region specific projection outputs; in order that an effective response can be provided by...English
Khalid Y. Muwembe - University of Reading - Department of meteorology, 2012.Several studies suggest that weather patterns over Lake Victoria are highly variable, with wind gusts in the vicinity of thunderstorms suddenly thrashing up high waves capable of capsizing small fishing boats. In order to improve safety on the lake, the Mobile Weather Alert (MWA) service is...English
France Mokoena - University of Reading - Department of meteorology, 2012.Lesotho is a small mountainous country is southern Africa. Lesotho is a temperate region that has four distinct seasons; spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is among countries that are vulnerable to climate change impacts. As such, future climate projections are vital to the country. Lesotho has...English
Onyilo Desmond, Nigerian Meteorological Agency - NIMET, 2011.The science of weather forecasting is only as good as its ability to produce results. Models are some of the tools meteorologists have come to depend on to help them in forecasting and the dependability as well as reliability of a model is measured by its ability to track and forecast ahead of time...English
