Model evaluation, regional scenarios, risk studies and climate-change indices for Africa.
Highly recommended functions
ACMAD and its partners assess observed and projected climate change across Africa using global and regional model simulations, long-term observations and standard climate indices.
These highly recommended RCC functions support robust model comparison, downscaling, scenario development, risk assessment and the detection of long-term change.
Climate-change services
A connected set of scientific activities turns observations and model simulations into evidence that can be applied across Africa.
Access and analyse CMIP, CORDEX and other model simulations
Compare global and regional simulations with observations and analyses to understand model performance over Africa.
View reports →Perform regional climate downscaling
Develop finer-scale climate information from global simulations for regional and national assessment.
Explore research →Provide climate scenarios
Analyse plausible future temperature and precipitation conditions to support adaptation planning.
View scenarios →Conduct climate variability and risk studies
Examine historical variability, extremes and exposure to provide evidence for climate-sensitive development.
View studies →Detect and project changes in climate indices
Explore station-level observed trends, near-future comparisons and precipitation and temperature indices under multiple scenarios.
Open indices application ↗Regional evidence
Locally managed reports bring together observed variability, model evaluation, climate projections, scenarios and risk studies. New reports imported into the Climate Change and Climate Projections product archive appear here automatically.
