Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Korecha, Diriba; Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir; Sorteberg, Asgeir; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-23)Background: Most of the current biophysical models designed to address the large-scale distribution of malaria assume that transmission of the disease is independent of the vector involved. Another common assumption in ... -

Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Balkew, Meshesha; Korecha, Diriba; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Ulesido, Fekadu Massebo; Sorteberg, Asgeir; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-02-25)Background: The first part of this study aimed to develop a model for Anopheles gambiae s.l. with separate parametrization schemes for Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis. The characterizations were constructed ... -
The El Niño effect on Ethiopian summer rainfall
Gleixner, Stephanie Nikola; Keenlyside, Noel; Viste, Ellen; Korecha, Diriba (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)While El Niño is known to cause failure of Kiremt (boreal summer) rainfall in Ethiopia, the mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we use the ECHAM5 Atmospheric General Circulation Model to investigate the physical link ... -
Recent drought and precipitation tendencies in Ethiopia
Viste, Ellen Marie; Korecha, Diriba; Sorteberg, Asgeir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05)In 2011, drought in the Horn of Africa again made news headlines. This study aims to quantify the meteorological component of this and other drought episodes in Ethiopia since 1971. A monthly precipitation data set for 14 ...
