Future changes in extreme events in Mozambique as simulated using the PRECIS regional climate modeling system

Future climate change is generally believed to lead to an increase in climate variability and inthe frequency and intensity of extreme events. Mozambique is well known for its occurrenceof severe weather and extreme climate events such as floods, tropical cyclones and droughts.Such events have serio...
