The interaction between climate and the African great lakes: A study with a regional climate model. KU Leuven
In this PhD project, use will be made of the regional climate model CCLM, in which only very recently, the freshwater lake parameterisation scheme FLake has been implemented. The research will be build around three main axes: (i) improvement of the treatment of turbulent exchanges and lake dynamics in FLake, (ii) climate simulations –and evaluation– for Central and Eastern Africa using CCLM driven by Global Climate Model (GCM) output, and ...
