NCAR Climate System Model
• Version 1.3 (Gent and Boville, 1998)• Atmosphere 2.8 2.8, 18 vertical levels• Ocean component - variable resolutions 2.3 at the poles,
1.2 at the Equator, 45 vertical levels• Dynamic/thermodynamic Sea ice component• Land surface model (LSM)• Forced by greenhouse gases using starting times of 1870.
Integrated out to 2100 using A1, A2 and B2 scenarios.• CSM has a relatively low climate sensitivity.

Climate Change- Climate Variability linkage in West Africa
• Observed – Reduced Rain rates
associated with:– A southward shift in AEJ
(700 hPa)– A weaker TEJ (200 hpa)– Warmer surface temps.
• Can we use observed changes as a fingerprint for future climate and rain rates?

Conclusion
• CSM suggest that the region will become:• Warmer by 1.5-2.5C based on SRES scenarios.• Wetter --especially in the Sahel - due to an
increase in low-level moisture (strengthening of monsoon flow).
• Only small changes noted for Easterly waves.• CSM has significant biases in SLP, Surface air
temperatures, precipitation and 200 hpa Zonal winds.

Future Activities
• Downscaling -- running a regional climate model (RegCM) for present-day and future climates.
• Identifying biases in both GCM and regional climate model simulations.
• Publishing results.• Work to reduce biases in GCM/RegCM.• Will use CSM 2.0 and CSM 3.0 data in the future.• Build human scientific capacity for decades of future
research!!

Future Directions
• Analyze CCSM 2.0/3.0- Biases in Sea level Pressure, upper level winds much smaller.
• Use A1, A2, B2 simulations from new CCSM runs to drive regional climate model.
