RAINFALL DEFICIENCIES OF THE PLATEAU OF TANZANIA.

Abstract

The report contains a descriptive-explanatory climatology that concentrates on those aspects of climatic controls which make the Plateau of Tanzania unusually dry. Synoptic models are used to help explain climatology and rainfall patterns in East Africa. The main portion of the study is a season by season examination of: one, the rainfall patterns of this unusually dry area, and two, the unique aspects of the climatic and synoptic features of the atmosphere which create the seasonal and regional rainfall patterns.
