Perspective for nested climate modelling over southern Africa

Perspective for nested climate modelling over southern Africa

The climate of southern Africa is fundamentally affected by mesoscale circulation patterns that are not adequately simulated by global atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). The technique of nested climate modelling (NCM) utilises high-resolution limited area models (LAMs) to obtain clima...
