A multi-model ensemble system for short-range weather prediction in South Africa

Landman, Stephanie (University of Pretoria, 2012-05-15)

Predicting the location and timing of rainfall events has important social and economic impacts. It is also important to have the ability to predict the amount of rainfall accurately. In operational centres forecasters use ...
Seasonal maize yield simulations for South Africa using a multi-model ensemble system

Le Roux, Noelien (University of Pretoria, 2009-12-08)

Agricultural production is highly sensitive to climate and weather perturbations. Maize is the main crop cultivated in South Africa and production is predominantly rain-fed. South Africa’s climate, especially rainfall, is ...
Simulations of moist convection using the quasi-elastic equations

Bopape, Mary-Jane Morongwa (University of Pretoria, 2013)

Cloud Resolving Models use microphysics parameterisation schemes for the simulation of clouds. The thesis reports on the introduction of two single-moment Bulk Microphysics Parameterisation (BMP) schemes in the Nonhydrostatic ...
Ultra high-resolution climate simulations over the Stellenbosch wine producing region using a variable-resolution model

Roux, Belinda (University of Pretoria, 2009-12-08)

The study aims to generate a simulated, ultra high-resolution climatology over the southwestern Cape of South Africa, and in particular the Stellenbosch wine producing region, by the dynamical downscaling of observed ...
