We present evidence, based on an ensemble of integrations with NSIPP1 (version 1 of the atmospheric general circulation model developed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in the framework of the Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction Project) forced only by the observed record of sea surface temperature from 1930 to 2000, to suggest that variability of rainfall in the Sahel results from the response of the African summer monsoon to oceanic forcing, amplified by land-atmosphere interaction. The…

Oceanic forcing of the late 20th century Sahel drought
The Sahel region of Africa underwent a pronounced interdecadal drying trend in the latter half of the 20th century. In order to investigate this drying trend, several ensembles of numerical…
Understanding Pacific Ocean influence on interannual precipitation variability in the Sahel
Moisture budget decomposition is performed for the Sahel (10°–20°N and 20°W–40°E) in order to understand the processes that govern regional hydroclimate variability on interannual time scales and…
Dynamics of the boreal summer African monsoon in the NSIPP1 atmospheric model
A nine-member ensemble of simulations with a state-of-the-art atmospheric model forced only by the observed record of sea surface temperature (SST) over 1930–2000 is shown to capture the dominant…
Observation of oceanic origin of Sahel precipitation from space
SAHARIAN DESERT CYCLIC EVENTS BASED ON SEASONAL TO INTERANNUAL RECURRENT SAHEL RAINFALL DIAGNOSIS
INTRODUCTION The drying trend in the semiarid Sahel was attributed to warmer-than-average low-latitude waters around Africa, which, by favouring the establishment of deep convection over the ocean,…
Moisture budget analysis of SST-driven decadal Sahel precipitation variability in the twentieth century
It is well known that the Sahel region of Africa is impacted by decadal scale variability in precipitation, driven by global sea surface temperatures. This work demonstrates that the National Center…
Ocean Warming and Late-Twentieth-Century Sahel Drought and Recovery
Abstract The influences of decadal Indian and Atlantic Ocean SST anomalies on late-twentieth-century Sahel precipitation variability are investigated. The results of this regional modeling study show…
An Externally Forced Decadal Rainfall Seesaw Pattern Over the Sahel and Southeast Amazon
By analyzing observations and model simulations, here we show that there exists a significant anticorrelation on interannual to multidecadal time scales between the Sahel and southeast Amazon…
The dynamics of the Indian Ocean sea surface temperature forcing of Sahel drought
Given the pronounced warming in the Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) during the second half of the twentieth century and the empirical relationship between the Indian Ocean SST and Sahel…
Robust Sahel drought due to the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation in CMIP5 simulations
Many studies address the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) as a modulator of climate in several regions all over the globe. However, very few suggest that it has an impact on Sahel rainfall…

Influence of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans on Sahel rainfall
Folland et al.1 have reported that persistently dry and wet periods of several years in the Sahel have been accompanied by global-scale patterns of sea-surface temperature (SST) anomaly. They also…

Enhancement of Interdecadal Climate Variability in the Sahel by Vegetation Interaction.
TLDR
The role of naturally varying vegetation in influencing the climate variability in the West African Sahel is explored in a coupled atmosphere-land-vegetation model and interactive vegetation enhances the interdecadal variation substantially but can reduce year-to-year variability.
