Abstract

AbstractThe El Niño event of 1877–1878 was one of the strongest during the last 150 years and had worldwide impacts, bringing widespread severe droughts, but also unusually wet conditions to some regions. We focus on the effects that this event had on precipitation in South Africa, taking advantage of newly rescued instrumental data, as well as documentary sources. Through the assimilation of the new data into an existing reanalysis, we could improve the synoptic reconstruction of specific weather events. However, much remains to be done in order to achieve a good and consistent reconstruction quality for the region.
