This book considers the ways in which southern Africa's climates have changed over three thousand million years, and over the period of metereological record. Present-day circulation is discussed, and the manner in which the circulation modulates wet and dry spells is explained. The author proposes a circulation model to account for palaeoclimatic changes over the subcontinent over the last twenty-five millenia. The research, material, and expertise accumulated over a period of some 17 years have been gathered together in this book. Nothing similar exists for southern Africa, or for any other southern hemisphere countries. Climatologists; metereologists; geographers.

"Although a great deal is known about the extent and the atmospheric modulation of climatic change over long periods and the variability of climates over shorter periods of time in the northern hemisphere, less is known of southern hemisphere conditions, particularly in subtropical regions where the occurrence of droughts is endemic. Subtropical atmospheric circulations provide the coupling between the circulation of tropical and temperate latitudes and control the climatic variability of vast semi-arid areas of the earth affected by the semi-permanent high pressure cells of the general atmospheric circulation. The extent to which southern Africa's predominantly subtropical climate has responded differentially to both tropical and temperate variations in atmospheric circulation during the present century and in earlier times provides the focus of CLIMATIC CHANGE AND VARIABILITY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.".
