Climate Modelling at the CSIR NRE
• NWP and RCM capacity build around the conformal-cubic atmospheric model (CCAM) of the CSIRO
• A cube-based global model; semi-Lagrangian semi-implicit solution of the hydrostatic primitive equations
• Includes a wide range of physical parameterizations• Developed by the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric
Research (McGregor, 2005) • Runs in quasi-uniform or in stretched grid mode• Seamless (multiscale) forecasting...

Regional climate modelling over southern and tropical Africa using CCAM
CCAM applied in stretched-grid mode
Modest stretching provides a resolution of about 0.5 degrees over tropical and southern Africa; decreases to about 4 degrees in the far-field
Options for spectral nudging, gridpoint nudging or no nudging from the host model (atmospheric fields)
C64 stretched-grid with resolution about 0.5 degrees over southern and tropical Africa

Summary: projected rises in temperature
* Southern Africa is projected to experience rapid warming during the 21st century
* The projected rise in surface temperature over southern Africa is a robust signal – an actionable signal from the projections
* Increased surface temperature implies enhanced evaporation – ti impacts on surface water resources in combination with decreasing rainfall totals
* Increase in the frequencyof extreme convective storms – impacts on the frequency of occurrence of lightning and damaging winds

Research gaps and future work: CC and the Water Sector
* Climate models are capable of providing us with plausible scenarios of future climate change over southern Africa. In some case (e.g. temperature signal) the projections are sufficiently robust to be “actionable”
* Extensive hydrological modelling studies are required – link between climate models and hydrological models – impacts of changing rainfall and temperature patterns on evaporation, run-off and streamflow
* Lesotho Highlands water balance studies are overdue! There is a need to combine high-resolution climate modelling with hydrological modelling over this region
* “We need more people!”. Research councils and universities are well-positioned to train more water-sector and climate change researchers through excellent mentoring programmes – financial support for postgraduate students crucial for success.
