Drying climate in Ghana over the period 1960-2005: evidence from the resampling-based Mann-Kendall test at local and regional levels

Autor: Lacombe, Guillaume McCartney, Matthew P. Forkuor, Gerald

Trends in rainfall series were investigated at 16 stations in Ghana over the period 1960-2005. Time series were first de-correlated using an effective pre-whitening methodology and then submitted to the resamplingbased Mann-Kendall test. Field significances were assessed using the regional averag...
