The Sahel experienced a severe drought during the 1970s and 1980s after wet periods in
the 1950s and 1960s. Although rainfall partially recovered since the 1990s, the drought had …

Declining soil fertility and limited farmer access to inorganic fertilizer frequently cause sub-
optimal grain yields throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Farm productivity is also at risk from …

We review the use and value of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA), with a view to understanding and exploiting opportunities to realize more of its …

We propose a re-interpretation of the oceanic influence on the climate of the African Sahel
that is consistent across observations, 20th century simulations and 21st century projections …

Summer rainfall in the Sahel region of Africa exhibits one of the largest signals of climatic
variability and with a population reliant on agricultural productivity, the Sahel is particularly …

The small rainfall recovery observed over the Sahel, concomitant with a regional climate
warming, conceals some drought features that exacerbate food security. The new rainfall …

We assess the deterministic skill in seasonal climate predictions of Sahel rainfall made with
the North American Multimodel Ensemble (NMME). We find that skill for a regionally …

Agriculture is one of the sectors that has greatly benefitted from the establishment of climate
services. In Colombia, interannual climate variability can disrupt agricultural production …
