State-of-the-art climate modeling of extreme precipitation over Africa: analysis of CORDEX added-value over CMIP5

The ability of the state-of-the-art Global and Regional Climate Models (GCMs and RCMs) to reproduce the mean and spatial characteristics of extreme precipitation indices over Africa is evaluated. In particular, the extent to which CORDEX (COordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment) adds useful deta...
