Regional climate modeling using convection‐permitting models (CPMs; horizontal grid
spacing< 4 km) emerges as a promising framework to provide more reliable climate …

West Africa is known to be particularly vulnerable to climate change due to high climate
variability, high reliance on rain-fed agriculture, and limited economic and institutional …

The continental tropics play a leading role in the terrestrial energy, water, and carbon cycles.
Land–atmosphere interactions are integral in the regulation of these fluxes across multiple …

West African rainfall is an important part of the global climate system that influences the
Atlantic thermohaline circulation, hurricane activities, and dust transport. The water cycle is …

During the last few decades,'desertification'has reached the status of a global environmental
issue. The African Sahel is often seen as the world region worst hit by this process. The idea …

Prediction of biotic responses to future climate change in tropical Africa tends to be based on
two modelling approaches: bioclimatic species envelope models and dynamic vegetation …

West African monsoon is one of the most challenging climate components to model. Five
regional climate models (RCMs) were run over the West African region with two lateral …
