Regional climate modelling of the 2006 West African monsoon: sensitivity to convection and planetary boundary layer parameterisation using WRF (2011, background): “The year 2006 which corresponds to the special observing period (SOP) of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) project (Redelsperger et al. 2006), has provided an important database for the validation of simulations.”
Dynamical downscaling of CMIP5 global circulation models over CORDEX-Africa with COSMO-CLM: evaluation over the present climate and analysis of the added value (2015, background): “…Monsoon Modelling and Evaluation (WAMME) initiative (Druyan et al. 2010; Xue et al. 2010), the African Multidisciplinary Monsoon Analysis (AMMA) (Redelsperger et al. 2006; Ruti et al. 2011), and the Ensembles-based prediction of Climate Changes and Their Impacts (ENSEMBLES) (Paeth et al. 2011).”
Unified treatment of dry convective and stratocumulus‐topped boundary layers in the ECMWF model (2011, methodology): “The African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA; Redelsperger et al., 2006) project was chosen because of the availability of high-resolution high-quality bias-corrected radiosonde data (Vaisala 92) over areas and periods of pure dry convection”
A Diagnostic for Evaluating the Representation of Turbulence in Atmospheric Models at the Kilometric Scale (2011, background): “The last case is derived from the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) field campaign (Redelsperger et al. 2006).”
The impact of soil moisture modifications on CBL characteristics in West Africa: A case‐study from the AMMA campaign (2010, positive): “Based on this knowledge, the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) campaign was designed to improve the understanding of the West African monsoon system and its socio-economic impact (Redelsperger et al., 2006).”
The ``Year'' of Tropical Convection (May 2008-April 2010): Climate Variability and Weather Highlights (2012, result): “Figure 4 highlights the presence of Kelvin waves in spring, when they are known to be important in the equatorial African region (Nguyen and Duvel 2008), but they are also known to inf luence the Guinea coastal region of West Africa (not shown).”
The West African Sahel: A Review of Recent Studies on the Rainfall Regime and Its Interannual Variability (2013, methodology): “These include the AMMA (African monsoon multidisciplinary analysis) experiment, that took place in 2006 [9, 10], the associated model intercomparison project (ALMIP, [11]), the AMMA Catch Experiment [12], which extended AMMA southward into Benin, and the JET2000 Experiment, that focused on the Afric”
Present and future climate change in the semi‐arid region of West Africa: a crucial input for practical adaptation in agriculture (2012, background): “The latest rainfall trend shows the most significant climatic change that has occurred in the semi-arid regions (Redelsperger et al., 2006).”
