The National Center for Atmospheric Research regional climate model (RegCM) is employed to study the dynamics of the Turkana low-level jet that lies between the Ethiopian and the East African highlands, and also investigate the mechanisms responsible for the observed dry conditions over the Lake Turkana basin that lies in the wider section of the Turkana channel. The role of the large-scale orography and two other forcing factors namely the large-scale monsoonal flow and the Turkana channel depth are investigated in order to understand the kinematics of the jet.
