Examining the West African Monsoon circulation response to atmospheric heating in a GCM dynamical core
Abstract Diabatic heating plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of the West African Monsoon. A dynamical core configuration of a General Circulation Model (GCM) is used to test the influence of diabatic heating from different sources and regions on the strength and northward penetrat...
