Dry-lines in Southern Africa: Rediscovering the Congo Air Boundary
- Abstract:
-
Projected rainfall decline in southern Africa is likely to be highly sensitive to subtleties in the local atmospheric circulation. In an effort to understand the regional circulation complexities, a novel algorithm is developed to identify the Congo Air Boundary (CAB) in ERA-5, a high resolution reanalysis dataset. The CAB, a forgotten feature of the circulation, is defined in the Austral spring and early summer, using surface humidity gradients and near-surface wind convergence lines, and is...
