The Mt. Kilimanjaro ecosystem depends on atmospheric moisture transport and recycling of water, yet limited knowledge on the relation between advective moisture pathways and local water recycling is available. This study uses a regional atmospheric model to analyse moisture source and sink processes as well as precipitation recycling at Mt. Kilimanjaro. The results indicate that locally produced precipitation is deposited main...

This study introduces the set‐up of a new meteorological station network on the southern slopes of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, since 2010 and presents the recorded characteristics of air temperature, air humidity and precipitation in both a plot‐based and area‐wide perspectives. The station set‐up follows a hierarchical approach covering an elevational as well as a land‐use disturbance gradient. It consists of 52 basic stations mea...
