Impact of tropical waves on rainfall modulation and heavy rainfall event occurrence over western equatorial Africa

Autor: Marlon Maranan, Idene-Flore Mantho T., Andreas H. Fink, Derbetini A. Vondou, Peter Knippertz, Roderick van der Linden

Tropical waves, particularly convectively coupled equatorial waves (CCEWs), are known to modulate rainfall in tropical Africa on intraseasonal down to convective time scales, the latter of which includes the dynamics of heavy rainfall events. Data sc

Predictability of rainfall in Equatorial East Africa from daily to sub-monthly time scales

Despite the enormous potential of precipitation forecasts to save lives and property in Africa, the generally low skill has limited their uptake. Where the forecasts have been used, the low skill makes the forecast-based decisions questionable at bes

Current numerical weather prediction models show limited skill in predicting low-latitude precipitation. To aid future improvements, be it with better dynamical or statistical models, we propose a well-defined benchmark forecast. We use the arguably

Influence of tropical waves on the lifecycle of mesoscale convective systems over West Africa

Autor: Andreas Schlueter, Andreas H. Fink, Marlon Maranan, Peter Knippertz

Rainfall variability over West Africa remains a major challenge for numerical weather prediction (NWP). Due to the largely stochastic and sub-grid nature of tropical convection, current NWP models still fail to provide reliable precipitation forecast
