African rainfall and climate – responses to a warming world?
The various African monsoons are the primary water source for over 1 billion people, and it is therefore crucial to understand how rainfall might change due to projected anthropogenic warming. Evidence suggests that a host of environmental variables (ocean temperatures, wind directions / speeds, etc.) control continental precipitation on timescales ranging from the 20th century to millions of years.
