GCM simulations of the Indian Ocean dipole influence on East African rainfall: present and future. [PDF]

, 2007
Six coupled GCMs are assessed in terms of their ability to simulate observed characteristics of East African rainfall, the Indian Ocean dipole and their temporal correlation. Model results are then used to analyze the future behaviour of rainfall and the

The synoptic drivers of extreme rainfall in South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
A number of studies have shown an increase in the intensity of extreme rainfall over many regions of South Africa during the last 50 to 100 years. However, the weather of a region at any given time is a direct function of the synoptic state of the ...
