Most of the African continent is semi-arid and hence prone to extreme variations in rainfall
from year to year. The extreme droughts that have plagued the Sahel and eastern Africa are …

Abstract The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of sub-seasonal
climate variability in the global tropics. As such it represents an opportunity for intra …

This paper evaluates nine satellite rainfall products and the Global Precipitation Centre
Climatology (GPCC) gauge dataset over the Congo basin. For the evaluation the reference …

The knowledge of interactions between oceanic and atmospheric processes and associated
influence on drought episodes is a key step toward designing robust measure that could …

In semi‐arid environments, rainfall‐driven soil moisture fluctuations exert a strong influence
on surface turbulent fluxes. Intraseasonal rainfall variability can therefore impact low‐level …

Using observational rainfall datasets, we identify a positive correlation between precipitation
over Central Equatorial Africa (CEA) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) during September …

The rainy season onset date (RSOD) in the Southwest China (SWC) has important guiding
significance for agricultural planting, and the abnormal RSOD is easy to cause drought or …

The paper examines the character of the rainfall and convective regime over equatorial
Africa, in order to better understand the meteorological processes governing rainfall and …

Summary Western and Central Equatorial Africa (WCEA), home to the Congo rainforests, is
the green heart of the otherwise dry continent of Africa. Despite its crucial role in the Earth …
