Publisher's Synopsis
This book considers the ways in which southern Africa's climates have changed over three thousand million years, and over the period of metereological record. Present-day circulation is discussed, and the manner in which the circulation modulates wet and dry spells is explained. The author proposes a circulation model to account for palaeoclimatic changes over the subcontinent over the last twenty-five millenia. The research, material, and expertise accumulated over a period of some 17 years have been gathered together in this book. Nothing similar exists for southern Africa, or for any other southern hemisphere countries.;Climatologists; metereologists; geographers.
