Future Climate and Hydrological Extremes in Ethiopia: A CMIP6-Based Analysis
—
by
Published in 2025 in Advances in Meteorology (Volume 2025, Article ID 5571487), this open-access study looks at how climate extremes in Ethiopia may change by the end of the century. The authors used CMIP6 climate model projections under a medium (SSP2-4.5) and a high (SSP5-8.5) emissions scenario. They measured extremes with the World Meteorological Organization’s…
Hydro-climatic trends and drought dynamics in Ethiopia and South Africa under climate change
—
by
This study compares how climate change is expected to reshape rainfall, temperature and drought in Ethiopia and South Africa. The authors used high-resolution projections from six CMIP6 climate models (NEX-GDDP-CMIP6) under a moderate (SSP2-4.5) and a high (SSP5-8.5) emissions scenario. They looked at each country as a whole and at five climate zones within each…
