Availability of observed data to inform our knowledge on climate change is however, a key challenge and has led to relatively little research in the subject. Alternative climate data products, such as the Global Climate Models (GCMs) phase6 of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), accords the chance to bridge this knowledge gap. These products however, need some validation against observed data to ascertain their level of performance. This study therefore, evaluates the ability of nineteen CMIP6 models in simulating both annual and seasonal temperature and precipitation over Malawi from 1980 to 2014. Observed Model performance metrics such as bias, root mean square error (RMSE), spatial correlation coefficient, standard deviation and Percentage Bias (PBIAS) were employed to assess the ability of the individual models. Our quantitative analysis shows that most of the models could simulate both temperature and precipitation over the study area, with correlation coefficient values of over 0.70, RMSE values between 0.9 and 2.0 and PBIAS of $$le$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"> <mml:mo>≤</mml:mo> </mml:math> 10%. The results are suggesting better performance of CMIP6 than those reported in previous studies over the study domain using CMIP3 and CMIP5 model datasets. Of all the nineteen models evaluated in this study, no single model performed best compared to observed dataset, because the models are varying in performance from season to season. Hence, climate end users are advised to use simulations of temperature and precipitation over the study area from CMIP6 models with care for decision making on the mitigation and adaptation of climate change.","PeriodicalId":51444,"journal":{"name":"Modeling Earth Systems and Environment","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134885228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two modelling approaches are considered here to understand the transmission dynamics of mpox. A deterministic model that incorporates the major factors that influence mpox is developed and analysed. However, as more than one group can be infected by mpox, humans and animals, the results of a deterministic model do not always hold when at the outset the number of people infected is small. Thus, a stochastic model based on the assumptions of the deterministic model is also developed and analysed. By fitting the deterministic model to data on the 2022 mpox outbreak in Nigeria, essential parameters related to the mpox dynamics are estimated. Using these parameters the basic reproduction number is calculated as $$mathcal {R}_0 = 1.7$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1.7</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> and, as this is greater than unity, implies that without control mpox is likely to remain endemic in Nigeria. Consideration of the basic reproduction number for the different transmission routes and parameter sensitivity analyses indicate the importance of animals in the overall prevalence of the disease. Also, numerical simulations are used and show that controls of disease transmission from animals to humans and animals to animals are the most effective. The results of the stochastic model, where the initial number of infections is small, show that the disease can be eradicated in some situations where $$mathcal {R}_0 > 1$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>></mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . However, the probabilities of this occurring for the Nigerian epidemic are low. Overall, our model formulations could be useful for making decisions on the effective management of mpox outbreaks in any endemic area.","PeriodicalId":51444,"journal":{"name":"Modeling Earth Systems and Environment","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136130532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
