Downscaling Last Glacial Maximum climate over southern Africa

Downscaling Last Glacial Maximum climate over southern Africa

We conducted the first dynamic downscaling of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) climate over southern Africa using a regional climate model. Eight coupled global climate model (CGCM) projections of LGM climate were downscaled to 8 km resolution, and compared to a downscaling of present-day climate. It is p...
