Abstract: <p>Global climate models have difficulties to simulate the northward extension of the monsoonal precipitation over north Africa during the mid-Holocene as revealed by proxy data.&#160;A common feature of these models is that they usually operate on too coarse grids to explicitly resolve convection, but convection is the most essential mechanism leading to precipitation in the west African monsoon region.&#160;Here, we investigate how the representation of tropical deep convection in the ICON climate model affects t...
