  abstract = {{A}nalysis of the spatio-temporal variability of rainfall amounts, discharge and runoff coefficients, for monthly, seasonal and annual time steps in equatorial south {C}ameroon, reveals that annual values of rainfall and discharge have decreased during the years of greatest drought (1972-1973 and 1983-1984). {T}he most significant climatic change is a modification of rainfall regime during the dry seasons, which led to a change ill the annual hydrological cycle. {T}he decrease in rainfall during the dry season in {D}ecember-{F}ebruary generates a decrease in the runoff coefficients during the subsequent short rainy season ({M}arch-{J}une). {C}onversely, although the corresponding rainfall has not changed much during the rainy season in {S}eptember-{N}ovember, the discharge has increased, probably due to the fact that rainfall during the short dry season ({J}uly and {A}ugust) has been much higher for several decades. {T}his is assumed to indicate a change in climate in southwest {C}ameroon, also evident in {G}abon and {C}ongo. {O}ver the {K}ienke basin, the progressive disappearance of he short dry season in {J}uly-{A}ugust has resulted in a tendency for the two rainy seasons to merge into one.},
