Abstract:
A brief introduction is given of the Grid-point 9-layer Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) de-veloped at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences. The results of the 1980-1989 Atmospheric Model Inter-Comparison Program (AMIP) run were compared with observed European Centre for Medium-Range weather Forecasts (ECMWF) temperature data for the same period. The statistical analysis, and Grids Analysis and Display System (GrADS) results have shown that the model holds a great promise in predicting the African climate with considerable accuracy, within and across the seasons. This is a great hope for climate re-search in Africa which is data-sparse region.
