Methods
The research method involved analyzing historical climate data from 1900 to 2000 and using a combination of emissions scenarios, global climate model experiments, and a simple climate model to construct future climate change scenarios for Africa from 2000 to 2100. The study also examined the representation of El Niño climate variability and land cover changes in the models.
