The Effect of Explicit Convection on Couplings between Rainfall, Humidity, and Ascent over Africa under Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Hadley circulation and tropical rain belt are dominant features of African climate. Moist convection provides ascent within the rain belt, but must be parameterized in climate models, limiting predictions. Here, we use ...
Implications of Improved Representation of Convection for the East Africa Water Budget Using a Convection-Permitting Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe precipitation and diabatic heating resulting from moist convection make it a key component of the atmospheric water budget in the tropics. With convective parameterization being a known source of uncertainty ...
A Pan-African Convection-Permitting Regional Climate Simulation with the Met Office Unified Model: CP4-Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA convection-permitting multiyear regional climate simulation using the Met Office Unified Model has been run for the first time on an Africa-wide domain. The model has been run as part of the Future Climate for ...
