The link between intertropical convergence zone stagnation and bias in local shortwave cloud radiative forcing over tropical Africa in climate models

The link between intertropical convergence zone stagnation and bias in local shortwave cloud radiative forcing over tropical Africa in climate models

The northward migration of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a significant feature of the West African (WA) monsoon. An accurate simulation of ITCZ migration is essential for the realistic representation of WA precipitation in global coupled models. In this study, we employ the energetics...
