Validation of the Weather Generator CLIGEN with Precipitation Data from Uganda

Precipitation records from highland and central plains sites in Uganda were used to validate the CLIGEN (CLImate GENerator) weather sequence generator. Daily records from twenty years and recent records of recording rain gauge data were used to evaluate the generator. Results show that the generator was successful in modeling the annual and monthly precipitation totals, the monthly probabilities of wet and dry days, and average storm duration. There were some differences in some of the standard deviations between observed values and generated values.
