Wetting tendency in the Central Mekong Basin consistent with climate change-induced atmospheric disturbances already observed in East Asia

Abstract: Regional and local trends in rainfall intensity, frequency, seasonality, and extremes were analyzed in the central Mekong Basin in continental Southeast Asia over the period 1953-2004 using the modified Mann-Kendall test, accounting for long-term persistence and the regional average of the Kendall's statistic. Regionally significant and insignificant wetting tendencies of the dry and wet seasons, respectively, were found to be consistent with rainfall alterations in the neighboring southeastern part of China a… Show more

“…7). This curve is in alignment with the seasons experienced in northeastern Thailand: dry season from November through February, hot season from February through May, and wet season from May through November (Lacombe et al, 2013). We see the seasonal TRI coincide with the beginning of the wet season and reach its peak in September, when precipitation is at its maximum.…”

“…The seasonal patterns of transmission risk described and the insights they provide regarding control initiatives may be subject to change or nuance as temperature and precipitation regimes in the central Mekong Basin are forecast to change (Babel et al, 2011; Lacombe et al, 2013). Between 1953 to 2004, dry season rainfall significantly increased in frequency (more rainy days) and intensity (higher cumulative rainfall depths) in the central part of the Mekong Basin (Lacombe et al, 2013).…”

“…The field significance, introduced by Vogel and Kroll (1989), indicates whether a significant regional trend, that could remain insignificant at individual stations, emerges from a group of stations in the same region (e.g. Lacombe et al 2012b in Ghana, Lacombe et al 2013 in Southeast Asia). Similar to the existence of auto-correlation, the presence of cross correlations in a network inflates the significance of a regional trend and impedes the analytical evaluation of field significance.…”

“…However, few studies focused on South East Asia to assess the rainfall and temperature changes due to climate change. A study by Lacombe et al (2013) projected the rainfall and temperature trends of South East Asia. Västilä et al (2010) simulated the climate change impacts in the Lower Mekong flood plains using re-scaled PRECIS RCM for baseline scenarios.…”
