TL;DR: The 20CRv2c dataset as mentioned in this paper is the first ensemble of sub-daily global atmospheric conditions spanning over 100 years, which provides a best estimate of the weather at any given place and time as well as an estimate of its confidence and uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dry spell frequencies and their variability over southern Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used dry spell frequency (DSF) to assess spatial and temporal patterns in the con- sistency of rainfall during the mid-summer (DJF) season and their relationships to interannual drought occurrences in southern Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
South East tropical Atlantic warm events and southern African rainfall
TL;DR: Rouault et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the local circulation anomalies act to strengthen the climatological westwards flux of Indian Ocean sourced moisture across low latitude southern Africa and which flow anticyclonically over the warmest SST off the coast thereby weakening the mean southeasterly moisture flux away from Africa over the SE Atlantic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal to Decadal Prediction of Southern African Climate and Its Links with Variability of the Atlantic Ocean
TL;DR: A review of the interannual to interdecadal variability of the southern African region and its links with the Atlantic is given in this paper, where a review of these downscaling efforts and their various applications is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

Luis Gimeno,Francina Dominguez,Raquel Nieto,Raquel Nieto,Ricardo M. Trigo,Anita Drumond,Chris J. C. Reason,Andréa S. Taschetto,Alexandre M. Ramos,Ramesh Kumar,José A. Marengo +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the major conceptual models of atmospheric moisture transport, which describe the link between evaporation from the ocean and precipitation over the continents, and highlight the usefulness of this information to hydrologists and policymakers.
