A comparison of model ensembles for attributing 2012 West African rainfall

A comparison of model ensembles for attributing 2012 West African rainfall

In 2012, heavy rainfall resulted in flooding and devastating impacts across West Africa. With many people highly vulnerable to such events in this region, this study investigates whether anthropogenic climate change has influenced such heavy precipitation events. We use a probabilistic event attribu...
