Decadal Predictions Data set - ClimAfrica WP2

A Decadal prediction data set of several atmospheric and oceanic variables is here presented for climate studies and comparisons. Predictions are performed one time every 5 years, with start date on Nov 1st, and integrated for twenty years. Each prediction is constituted of three ensemble members to have a minimal sample of the uncertainty on the initial conditions. The sampled variables are: The sampled variables are: - Specific Humidity (Q) - Relative Humidity (RH) - Temperature (T) - Zonal Wind (U) - Meridional Wind (V) - Surface temperature (surf_temp) - Zonal Wind at 10m (u10) - Meridional Wind at 10m (v10). The decadal predictions data are available for download on demand only. Please contact Andrea Borrelli at [email protected] to place your request. This data set has been produced in the framework of the "Climate change predictions in Sub-Saharan Africa: impacts and adaptations (ClimAfrica)" project, Work Package 2 (WP2). More information on ClimAfrica project is provided in the Supplemental Information section of this metadata.
