文摘

Assessment of eastern African PMIP3 rainfall simulations for mid-Holocene and LGM. Good data-model agreement for the mid-Holocene, driven by precessional forcing. Diversity of responses for LGM simulations, none of which reflects palaeo-data. The LGM African rainbelt characterized by a limited sensitivity to the colder SSTs. Limited impact of LGM sea level on the intensity of the Indian Ocean Walker Cell.
