Were Rivers Flowing across the Sahara During the Last Interglacial? Implications for Human Migration through Africa
Figure 6
Observed vs simulated discharges at Aswan for the Nile validation.
Mean monthly discharge for the upper Nile recorded at Aswan from 1901–1920, discharge produced from the combined models driven with observed gridded monthly land-surface precipitation totals from 1901–1920, and driven with ESM pre-industrial climate (a). Comparison of magnitude and frequency of mean monthly discharge at Aswan, discharge produced from combined model simulations driven with observed precipitation, and ESM pre-industrial climate (b).
