|
- Understand the weather situation over Africa.
- What is the role of large scale in this case (compare with N.America case).
- Look at the diurnal variation of key parameters (2m temperature, surface heat fluxes, precipitation, outgoing-longwave-radiation) for location 0N,25E.
- Compare differences in convection profiles between Central Africa and (i) open ocean, and (ii) Amazonia.

Sensitivity experiments
The IFS is highly tuned to give the best forecast over a range of initial conditions. However, it is instructive to try some sensitivity experiments to understand the role of various physical and dynamical processes.
