- W1522507981 abstract "The arid lands of southern Africa occupy the area west of approximately 27 °E and north of 34 °S. North of approximately 27 °S, the arid zone becomes confined to coastal belt and plateau of southern Namibia. North of 22 °S, this zone is confined to the hyper-arid coastal belt of the Namib Desert and stretches as far north as 12 °S in southern Angola. The climate is dominated by, and indeed, the aridity is largely caused by, the southern subtropical highpressure (anticyclone) belt. To the south, the region is influenced by the circumpolar westerly airstream (Schulze, 1965). Only the southern and south-western arid regions are influenced by this belt of temperate cyclones. Local modifications occur as a result of the Cape Fold Mountains in the south, the mountains of the Great Escarpment, the raised interior plateau and the cold, north-flowing Benguela current that washes the west coast of the subcontinent. Incursions of moisture into the region are associated with the advection of air across the warm Indian Ocean (maximum precipitation from this source is largely confined to the eastern parts of the subcontinent) and the circumpolar westerlies to the south. Southern African arid lands are geographically marginal to these rain-producing systems." @default.
