Abstract


In this article, we examine how the global warming of the atmosphere affects the annual convective precipitation accumulations in the lower Betsiboka valley. We specifically delve into a lesser-discussed yet equally crucial aspect of climate change, the change in statistical distribution. The statistical analyses unequivocally revealed significant breaks in statistical distributions, occurring between 1985 and 1987. This led us to adjust the empirical distributions both before and after the observed break using Gaussian models. By grasping these nuances of climate change, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges that lie ahead and develop strategies to mitigate the negative effects while capitalizing on the opportunities that come our way.
