RISImpact of Abrupt Land Cover Changes by Tropical Deforestation on Southeast Asian Climate and Agriculture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSoutheast Asia (SE Asia) undergoes major and rapid land cover changes as a result of agricultural expansion. Landscape conversion results in alterations to surface fluxes of moisture, heat, and momentum and ...
Determination of Precipitation Return Values in Complex Terrain and Their Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To determine return values at various return periods for extreme daily precipitation events over complex orography, an appropriate threshold value and distribution function are required. The return values are calculated ...
The Impact of the African Great Lakes on the Regional Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lthough the African Great Lakes are important regulators for the East African climate, their influence on atmospheric dynamics and the regional hydrological cycle remains poorly understood. This study aims to assess this ...
A Diagnostic Evaluation of Precipitation in CORDEX Models over Southern Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors evaluate the ability of 10 regional climate models (RCMs) to simulate precipitation over Southern Africa within the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) framework. An ensemble of 10 ...
Assessment of the Performance of CORDEX Regional Climate Models in Simulating East African Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study evaluates the ability of 10 regional climate models (RCMs) from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) in simulating the characteristics of rainfall patterns over eastern Africa. The ...
