datasets and extends the zone further to the east (Figs. 2e–g, 3e–g). Similarly, the rainfall maximum in the equatorial Pacific close to Panama is well-simulated but anomalously extended to the north-west, appearing as an overestimation of the precipitation associated with the Inter Tropical

copyright 2019, Met Office 5 monsoon can be divided into three sub-regions, the South Asian Monsoon (SAM) (referred to as the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) in Figure 3), the western North Pacific summer monsoon (WNPSM) and the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). It is the SAM that characterises the South

emission scenarios there is less confidence for changes in both annual and seasonal precipitation totals. • Sea level rise, inundation and SSTs will increase, Zone 3 is an accretion hotspot. • Root and tuber crops and highland perennials in north-east have high potential for food security up to 2030

special names for different types of wind. These include the following: “Tarai” is a strong wind from the east. “Ombalo” is a strong wind from the south. “Ogingo” is a strong wind from the southwest which brings the danger of water spouts, a phenomenon much feared by the fishermen, called “Nyakoi

, it is essential to account for changing climate to the entirety of the river basin. Zone 1 was extended north and east from Myanmar into China to capture the entire catchment of the upper Mekong River (known locally as Lancang River). 4.

Wherever possible, a station should not be located in a frost hollow where overnight temperatures on still clear nights may be far lower than at neighbouring locations. In a similar way, winds measured at the top of a hill or steep escarpment will be unrepresentative

and the Central African Republic to the west, and Eritrea and the Red Sea to the east. The topography of Sudan is predominantly flat plains, with areas of higher elevation in three regions; the Marrah mountains to the west, the Nuba mountains to the south, and the Red Sea Hills to the east (Figure 1, right
