The waters around southern Africa are strongly influenced by the Agulhas Current, which transports warm, saline water southward along the African coast and plays an important role in global ocean circulation.
Changes in rainfall extremes over Southern Africa over the 20th and 21st centuries simulated by a high-resolution regional climate model and their connection to the Agulhas Current System
We analysed extreme precipitation over Southern Africa using high-resolution atmospheric CCLM simulations. The strongest precipitation occurs over Madagascar and the adjacent mainland. Extremes are generally
