Precipitable water vapor in regional climate models over Ethiopia : model evaluation and climate projections Ghent University
Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) has strong relations with extreme rainfall and their increments in a future warming world are typically associated. It is, however, unclear how different climatic conditions and orographic effects modulate these changes in the equatorial region. We investigate PWV and heavy rainfall over Ethiopia using Regional Climate Models (RCMs) from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX). An in-depth ...
