CP4A-Present: Present-day climate predictions for Africa

Ten years of present-day Climate Predictions for Africa (CP4A-present) data were produced by the NERC funded IMPALA (Improving Model Processes for African cLimAte) project team using the Met Office Unified Model (4.5km horizontal grid spacing) and are valid from 1997-2007. Parameters include (but not limited to); near-surface air temperature, outgoing longwave radiation and surface sensible heat flux. The IMPALA project is within the Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) programme.

Here a subset of variables of the data produced is provided in NetCDF format for community reuse, variables are available at a range of temporal frequencies.
