Abstract
A brief introduction is given of the Grid–point 9–layer Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) developed at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences. The results of the 1980–1989 Atmospheric Model Inter-Comparison Program (AMIP) run were compared with observed European Centre for Medium-Range weather Forecasts (ECMWF) temperature data for the same period. The statistical analysis, and Grids Analysis and Display System (GrADS) results have shown that the model holds a great promise in predicting the African climate with considerable accuracy, within and across the seasons. This is a great hope for climate research in Africa which is data-sparse region.
