Forecast skill of minimum and maximum temperatures on subseasonal-to-seasonal timescales over South Africa

Phakula, Steven; Landman, Willem Adolf; Engelbrecht, Christina Johanna; Makgoale, Thabo (Wiley Open Access, 2020-02)

Forecast skill of three subseasonal‐to‐seasonal models and their ensemble mean outputs are evaluated in predicting the surface minimum and maximum temperatures at subseasonal timescales over South Africa. Three skill scores ...
Forecasting seasonal rainfall characteristics and onset months over South Africa

Phakula, Steven; Landman, Willem Adolf; Beraki, Asmerom F. (Wiley, 2018-04)

Aspects of forecast skill in predicting seasonal characteristics using global climate models (GCMs) are assessed over South Africa. The GCMs output is configured to predict number of rainfall days at South African Weather ...
