Sahel rainfall is dynamically linked to the global Hadley cell and to the regional monsoon
circulation. It is therefore susceptible to forcings from remote oceans and regional land alike …

The West African Sahel is well known for the severe droughts that ravaged the region in the
1970s and 1980s. Meteorological research on the region has flourished during the last …

We analyze data of 27 global climate models from the sixth phase of the Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), and examine projected changes in temperature and …

This review study examines the state of meteorological drought over Africa, focusing on
historical trends, impacts, mitigation strategies, and future prospects. Relevant …

Most of the African continent is semi-arid and hence prone to extreme variations in rainfall

Desertification of the Sahel region has been debated for decades, while the concept of a “re-
greening” Sahel appeared with satellite remote sensing data that allowed vegetation …

An understanding of climate variability, trends, and prediction for better water resource
management and planning in a basin is very important. Since the water resources of the …
