Changes in climate extremes over West and Central Africa at 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming

Changes in climate extremes over West and Central Africa at 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming

In this study, we investigate changes in temperature and precipitation extremes over West and Central Africa (hereafter, WAF domain) as a function of global mean temperature with a focus on the implications of global warming of 1.5 °C and 2 °C according the Paris Agreement. We applied a scaling appr...
