dc.description.abstract | Forecasts of a Global Coupled Model for Austral summer with a 1-month lead are downscaled to end-of-season maize yields and accumulated streamflow over the Limpopo Province and adjacent districts in northeastern South Africa through application of a MOS (Model Output Statistics) approach applied over a 28-year period. Promising results, based on the hindcasts of the Global Models and historically observed yield and streamflow data, suggest potential for a commodity-orientated forecast system for application in agriculture in an operational environment. It also serves as a baseline study for inclusion of sophisticated crop or runoff models utilising GCM output data towards estimating potential yields and streamflows in the region. | en_ZA |
