Abstract

Research aims:
- Investigate how changes in the Earths orbit around the Sun
affect the North-African summer monsoon.
- Specifically, examine the precession and obliquity forcing
separately.
- This is the first study of the separate precession and
obliquity forcing using a fully coupled high resolution GCM.
