Abstract: Ten-day winter anomalous precipitation variability in the Iberian Peninsula (IP), related to the North Atlantic atmospheric general circulation, is analyzed using 24-h forecast ECMWF precipitation data over 1979?96. The ...

Abstract: The ways in which deep convection over the tropical Atlantic affects the midlatitude climate variability through meridional circulation, planetary wave teleconnection, and wave?mean flow interaction is examined for the ...

Abstract: This work presents a description of the 1979?2002 tropical Atlantic (TA) SST variability modes coupled to the anomalous West African (WA) rainfall during the monsoon season. The time-evolving SST patterns, with an impact ...

Abstract: The Atlantic Niño or Atlantic Equatorial Mode (EM) is the dominant coupled variability phenomenon in the tropical Atlantic basin during boreal summer. From the 1970s, the mode has changed, evolving in time from east to ...

Abstract: AbstractState-of-the-art general circulation models show important systematic errors in their simulation of sea surface temperatures (SST), especially in the tropical Atlantic. In this work the spread in the simulation of ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) is the leading mode of Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) variability at multidecadal time scales. Previous studies have shown that the AMO could modulate El Niño?Southern ...

Abstract: AbstractThe atmospheric response to global sea surface temperatures is the leading cause of rainfall variability in the West African Sahel. On interannual periodicities, El Niño?Southern Oscillation, the Atlantic equatorial ...

Abstract: he 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 devastating impacts on society. Most studies ...
