This study evaluates the ability of 10 regional climate models (RCMs) from the Coordinated RegionalClimate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) in simulating the characteristics of rainfall patterns overeastern Africa. The seasonal climatology, annual rainfall cycles, and interannual variability of RCMoutput have been assessed over three homogeneous subregions against a number of observationaldatasets. The ability of the RCMs in simulating large-scale global climate forcing signals is furtherassessed by compositing the El Ni~no–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean dipole (IOD)events. It is found that most RCMs reasonably simulate the main features of the rainfall climatology overthe three subregions and also reproduce the majority of the documented regional responses to ENSO andIOD forcings. At the same time the analysis shows significant biases in individual models depending onsubregion and season; however, the ensemble mean has better agreement with observation than individualmodels. In general, the analysis herein demonstrates that the multimodel ensemble mean simulateseastern Africa rainfall adequately and can therefore be used for the assessment of future climateprojections for the region.JRC.H.7-Climate Risk Managemen
