General objective
Providing the underpinning science that relates climate variability to issues of health, water resources, food security, making provision for other socio-economic forcing factors (i.e. demography, evolution of techniques and infrastructures, adaptation strategies, …) for West African nations and defining relevant monitoring and prediction strategies.
This WG is concerned with one of three aims of the International Science Plan and expected to provide strong linkages between the work taking place on impacts and that taking place on observed variability and predictability of the WAM. This WG will benefit from expertise in the impacts community as well as the monsoon community including those concerned with downscaling issues.
This WG will be particularly concerned with addressing the sciences issues raised at the global and local scale (Sections 2.7, 3.2.1 & 3.2.4 of ISP)
