Characterization of the skill of the CORDEX-Africa regional climate models to simulate regional climate setting in the East African Transboundary Omo Gibe River Basin, Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: Regional climate models (RCMs) that produce good outputs in one region or for specific variables may underperform for others. Thereby, assessing the performance of various model simulations and their corresponding mean ensemble is critical in identifying the most suitable models. In this regard, a study was conducted to evaluate the performance of ten RCMs against observations from multiple ground-based stations in the East African Transboundary Omo Gibe River Basin, Ethiopia, during the baseline period of 1986-2005. The study evaluated the models' ability to replicate various aspects of climatic variables and their corresponding statistical indicators. The results confirmed that RCMs have varying abilities to reproduce climatic conditions across the basin. The ensembles and RACMO22T (EC-E
