Hot season gets hotter due to rainfall delay over tropical land in a warming climate by Fengfei Song, Hongqiang Dong, Lixin Wu, L. Ruby Leung, Jian Lu, Lu Dong, Peili Wu, Tianjun Zhou

“…Abstract Tropical land generally experiences the hottest period (spring) in a year just before the onset of wet season. Previous studies suggested that in a warming climate, the wet season would come later, but its origin is debated and its impact on temperature remains unknown. …”

Variability in Summer Rainfall and Rain Days over the Southern Kalahari: Influences of ENSO and the Botswana High by Bohlale Kekana, Ross Blamey, Chris Reason

“…Roughly the reverse patterns are found during anomalously dry summers. On sub-seasonal scales, ENSO and the Botswana High (the Southern Annular Mode) are negatively (positively) significantly correlated with early summer rainfall, while in mid-summer, and for the entire November–April season, only ENSO and the Botswana High are correlated with rainfall amounts. …”

The Role of Microbes in Coffee Fermentation and Their Impact on Coffee Quality by Mesfin Haile, Won Hee Kang

“…Commonly, there are three different processing methods used to obtain green coffee beans from coffee cherries, namely, the wet, dry, and semidry methods. Microorganisms (yeasts and bacteria) play a major role in coffee fermentation process by degrading mucilage by producing different enzymes (pectinase), acids, and alcohols. …”
