CP4A-Future: Future climate predictions for Africa

The future Climate Predictions for Africa (CP4A-future) data were produced using the Met Office's Unified Model (4.5km horizontal grid spacing), the IMPALA (Improving Model Processes for African cLimAte) project ran a ten-year timeslice simulation that is representative of end the 21st century (2095-2105) using a 30-year averaged sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly (2085-2115 relative to 1975-2005). Parameters include (but not limited to); near-surface air temperature, outgoing longwave radiation, surface latent heat flux and surface sensible heat flux. The NERC funded IMPALA project is within the Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) programme.

Here a subset of variables of the data produced is provided in NetCDF format for community reuse, variables are available at a range of temporal frequencies.
