Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes induced by urbanisation constitute a key driver in surface thermal properties modification, which intensifies Land Surface Temperature (LST) in rapidly urbanising areas. The aim of this ...

Most coastal rural communities in Ghana are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise because of poverty, remoteness and isolation from central planning agencies. Understanding future sea-level rise (SLR) risk levels and ...

Climate change has become one of the most pressing environmental issues in recent decades, resulting in a significant increase in rainfall intensity and causing floods in various countries worldwide. Flooding is a natural ...

The yearly temperature, precipitation, and evapotranspiration are significant variables in Mali. However, from north to south, their distributions are unevenly dispersed. Evapotranspiration and air temperature are expected ...

Using a high-resolution regional climate model COSMO-ART, the impact of natural and anthropogenic aerosols loads on radiative and cloud optical properties over West Africa is assessed through sensitivity experiments. ...

Reliable prediction of seasonal rainfall is crucial for decision-making in various socio-economic sectors in West Africa, but obtaining reliable forecasts poses a big challenge to weather forecasters across the region, ...

The study investigated the influence of agri-silviculture on the projected future climate in West Africa using regional climate model (RegCM4). The performance of the model in the representation of surface processes over ...

This study investigate the effects of pre-monsoon biomass burning aerosols (BBA) on rainfall characteristics over West Africa. The specific objectives aimed to be achieved are; estimating the distribution of pre-monsoon ...

Aerosols’ presence in the atmosphere is known to influence health and weather-related matters. This study investigates the influence of climate change on hydrological drought in the Volta River Basin. The specific objectives ...

It is believed that these pollutants are available in the atmosphere all year round but are more prevalent at certain seasons of the year. Some source points can be close or far from the locations where the aerosols are ...
