Dynamical and Thermodynamic Elements of Modeled Climate Change at the East African Margin of Convection
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1002/2017gl075486
Abstract: We propose a dynamical interpretation of model projections for an end-of-century wetting in equatorial East Africa. In the current generation of global climate models, increased atmospheric moisture content associated with warming is not the dominant… read more here.

Extremes in East African hydroclimate and links to Indo-Pacific variability on interannual to decadal timescales
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Climate Dynamics"
DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-3786-7
Abstract: East African hydroclimate exhibits considerable variability across a range of timescales, with implications for its population that depends on the region’s two rainy seasons. Recent work demonstrated that current state-of-the-art climate models consistently underestimate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2019.104291
Abstract: Abstract The concept of the soil catena was first explicitly formalised by Geoffrey Milne and his colleagues in East Africa in the 1930s. It has been widely adopted and applied in soil survey and continues… read more here.
