Analysis of the Future Evolution of Maximum Cumulatives of Rainfall in the Lobo Basin (Central-West of Cote D'Ivoire). This work study analyzes the future evolution of the maximum height of rains on three decades (2014-2023, 2024-2033 and 2034-2043). The WeaGETS third-order Markov model and calculation of climate index was respectively used to predict the field of daily rainfall for the period of 2014-2043 and to calculate three climate indices. The medium criterion of Nash 0.93 and the coefficient of determination medium R 2 = 0.9994 for all the stations covering the zone of study shows a good performance of the Markov model. Annual maximum 1-day precipitation (Rx1day) and annual maximum consecutive 5-day precipitation (Rx5day) will decrease during the
The Lobo watershed located in the west-central part of Côte d'Ivoire is an area with high agricultural potential, influenced by climate variations and changes that reduce crop yields. The objective of this study is to analyse trends in ETCCDI extreme rainfall indices from rainfall data from 1984 to 2013 using ClimPACT2 software. This study shows that the trend of the indices: number of consecutive wet days (CWD), number of rainy days (R1mm) and the cumulative annual total rainfall (PRCPTOT) is decreasing. On the other hand, the number of consecutive dry days (CDD) is on the rise. In general, the whole basin has experienced a decrease in rainfall as well as wet sequences and an increase in dry sequences. These different trends observed in this study are more pronounced in the northern half of the watershed.
The rainfall deficit has become remarkable in recent decades in Côte d'Ivoire in general and particularly in the Lobo watershed. The objective of this study is to analyze rain behaviour using weather generator MulGETS based on first order Markov chains to two states. Daily data from 1984 to 2013 from 17 stations were used to predict daily precipitation data for the period 2021 to 2050. The results obtained show that the probability of having two successive dry years or two successive wet years is higher over the entire study area for the period 1984-2013. For the period 2021 to 2050, the probability of having two successive dry years and two successive wet years will be higher over the entire basin and in the south, center and north respectively. The probability of a wet year followed by a dry year will be higher in the south, west, northwest and north of the basin. The probability of a dry year followed by a wet year will be relatively high in the north, center and southwest of the basin.
