Evaluation and adaptation of a regional climate model for the Horn of Africa: rainfall climatology and interannual variability

This study evaluates the ability of the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) version 3 Regional Climate Model (RegCM3) to reproduce the observed rainfall amounts and distribution over the topographically varied region of the Horn of Africa. Simulations are performed for th...
