    “…This study, which was supported by the World Bank Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (WB-GFDRR) and implemented by the World Meteorological Organization, was organized in terms of three workshops with three main objectives; (1) analysis of daily rainfall and temperature extremes for ten countries in the GHA region using observed in situ data running from 1971 to 2006, (2) assessing whether the United Kingdom Met-office and Hadley centre Providing REgional Climates for Impact Studies (UK-PRECIS) modelling system can provide realistic representation of the past and present climate extremes as observed by available in situ data, and (3) studying the future regional climate extremes under different scenarios to further assess the expected changes in climate extremes.This paper, therefore, uses the outputs of these workshops and also includes post-workshop analyses to assess the changes of climate extremes within the GHA. …”

    Statistical analysis of agricultural soils climate data to aid food security under environmental change by Mitchell, Emily

    Published 2022
    “…The first part of this thesis is concerned with modelling wheat yield based on a linear combination of data from the Farm Business Survey, such as annual crop protection costs, labour costs and organic status of the farms, and data from the UK Met Office, such as annual monthly rainfall. We compute coefficient estimates in the linear model using quantile regression, linear regression and principal component regression. …”
