Understanding the West African Monsoon from the analysis of diabatic heating distributions as simulated by climate models
Abstract Vertical and horizontal distributions of diabatic heating in the West African monsoon (WAM) region as simulated by four model families are analyzed in order to assess the physical processes that affect the WAM circulation. For each model family, atmosphere‐only runs of their CMIP5 configura...
