Climate change and variability has a major impact on the African continent, contributing to food insecurity, displacement of populations, and stress on water resources. In this session, we invite contributions on all aspects of African climate and weather, including work emphasizing physical processes and climate theory, observations of weather/climate, and numerical modeling studies of past, present, and future African climate/weather.
