Biomass burning, land-cover change, and the hydrological cycle in Northern sub-Saharan Africa
The Northern Sub-Saharan African (NSSA) region, which accounts for 20%–25%of the global carbon emissions from biomass burning, also suffers from frequent drought episodes and other disruptions to the hydrological cycle whose adverse societal impacts have been widely reported during the last several decades. This paper presents a conceptual framework of the NSSA regional climate system components that may be linked to biomass burning, as well as d…
Projections of rapidly rising surface temperatures over Africa under low mitigation
An analysis of observed trends in African annual-average near-surface temperatures over the last five \ndecades reveals drastic increases, particularly over parts of the subtropics and central tropical Africa. \nOver these regions, temperatures have been rising at more than twice the global rate of temperature \nincrease. An ensemble of high-resolution downscalings, obtained using a single regional climate \nmodel forced with the sea-surface temp…
Surface albedo darkening from wildfires in northern sub-Saharan Africa
Northern sub-Saharan Africa (NSSA) has a wide variety of climate zones or biomes, where albedo dynamics are highly coupled with vegetation dynamics and fire disturbances. Quantifying surface albedo variations due to fire disturbances on time scales of several months to several years is complex and is made worse by lack of accurate and spatially consistent surface albedo data. Here, we estimate the surface albedo effect from wildfires in different…
