Decadal and multi-year predictability of the West African monsoon and the role of dynamical downscaling

Decadal and multi-year predictability of the West African monsoon and the role of dynamical downscaling

West African summer monsoon precipitation is characterized by distinct decadal variability. Due to its well-documented link to oceanic boundary conditions in various ocean basins it represents a paradigm for decadal predictability. In this study, we reappraise this hypothesis for several sub-regions...
