Definition

[Emmanouil Flaounas] Regional climate model (RCM) is a valuable scientific tool to address the mechanisms of regional\ \ atmospheric systems such as the West African monsoon (WAM). This study aims to improve our\ \ understanding of the impact of some physical schemes of RCM on the WAM representation. The weather\ \ research and forecasting model has been used by performing six simulations of the 2006 summer WAM\ \ season. These simulations use all combinations of three convective parameterization schemes (CPSs)\ \ and two planetary boundary layer schemes (PBLSs)...
