Publication on the atmospheric drivers and socioeconomic impacts of precipitation variability in North Africa

Precipitation variability in North Africa, one of the most water-scarce and climate-sensitive regions globally, exhibits pronounced spatial and temporal changes driven by both natural variability and anthropogenic climate forcing. This review synthesizes current knowledge on precipitation variability across North Africa from the early Holocene to future climate scenarios. Key atmospheric drivers, including synoptic-scale weather systems and large-scale teleconnections, as central controls on precipitation variability and extremes are identified in this work by FutureMed participants.
