Thesis
Structure, circulation, and breakdown of the Congo Air Boundary
- Abstract:
-
The onset of the austral summer rains across subtropical southern Africa marks a critical transition in the regional hydroclimate that is of major socio-economic importance. Yet the dynamical processes controlling rainfall onset remain poorly understood, hindering seasonal predictability and undermining confidence in projections of delayed rainfall onset under future warming. Resolving this requires an improved understanding of the regional circulation features that modulate the southward mig...
