ABSTRACT: Precipitation is one of the key climatic parameters that have a significant impact on the spatial and temporal trends of available water resources in a region. Therefore, carrying out a long-term analysis on its seasonal and annual trends and variability is imperative for viable water resources management. This study investigates the seasonal and annual precipitation data for South-southern Nigeria (SSN) between 1951 and 2016. Over the 66 yr period, SSN witnessed a region-wide decrease in annual and DJF, MAM and JJA seasonal precipitation; while in SON, precipitation was reduced in 81.2% of the stations. On the regional level, station-specific trend analysis confirmed a region-wide decrease; however, a greater number of significant declines were found for annual and MAM precipitation records for all 6 states within SSN. The degree of wetness and dryness within the states indicate that all experienced more periods of extreme dryness than extreme wetness during the study duration. This may be attributed to evident changes in climate that are also reflected in the decreasing trends reported for the annual and seasonal timescales. The only significant cycle was detected at 1 yr timescale throughout the study period for precipitation time series in all the six states in SSN.. The major results of this study show that SSN may have challenges in securing the water required for agriculture and other domestic needs if adequate measures are not in place to fully harness other water sources within the crop-growing season of MAM.

尼日利亚南南部(SSN)降水的时空趋势和频率分析

【摘要】:降水是影响一个地区可利用水资源时空变化趋势的关键气候参数之一。因此,对其季节性和年度趋势和可变性进行长期分析对于可行的水资源管理至关重要。本研究调查了 1951 年至 2016 年间尼日利亚南南部 (SSN) 的季节性和年降水量数据。在 66 年期间,SSN 见证了整个区域的年降水量和 DJF、MAM 和 JJA 季节性降水量减少;而在 SON,81.2% 的站点降水减少。在区域层面,特定站点的趋势分析证实了区域范围内的下降;然而,在 SSN 内的所有 6 个州的年度和 MAM 降水记录中发现了更多的显着下降。各州内的潮湿和干燥程度表明,在研究期间,所有人都经历了比极端潮湿更多的极端干燥时期。这可能归因于气候的明显变化,这也反映在年度和季节时间尺度报告的下降趋势中。在整个研究期间,在 SSN 所有六个州的降水时间序列的 1 年时间尺度上检测到唯一的显着周期。这项研究的主要结果表明,SSN 在确保农业和其他国内需求所需的水方面可能面临挑战如果没有适当的措施在 MAM 作物生长季节充分利用其他水源。这可能归因于气候的明显变化,这也反映在年度和季节时间尺度报告的下降趋势中。在整个研究期间,在 SSN 所有六个州的降水时间序列的 1 年时间尺度上检测到唯一的显着周期。这项研究的主要结果表明,SSN 在确保农业和其他国内需求所需的水方面可能面临挑战如果没有适当的措施在 MAM 作物生长季节充分利用其他水源。这可能归因于气候的明显变化,这也反映在年度和季节时间尺度报告的下降趋势中。在整个研究期间,在 SSN 所有六个州的降水时间序列的 1 年时间尺度上检测到唯一的显着周期。这项研究的主要结果表明,SSN 在确保农业和其他国内需求所需的水方面可能面临挑战如果没有适当的措施在 MAM 作物生长季节充分利用其他水源。
