Over the West African region, the rainfall has shown a strong variability from interannual to decadal time scales. The atmospheric response to global sea surface temperatures is the leading cause of rainfall variability in the West African Sahel. This thesis explores changes in the leading ocean forcing of Sahelian rainfall interannual variability. It analyzes the dynamical mechanisms at work to explain the non-stationary sea surface temperature-forced response of anomalous rainfall. The underlying multidecadal sea surface temperature background is raised as a key factor that favors some interannual teleconnections and inhibits others. Results of this thesis are relevant for improving the seasonal predictability of summer rainfall in the Sahel.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Atmospheric scienceGeophysicsPlanetary scienceClimatic changesAtmospheric Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000Geophysics and Environmental Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P32000Planetary Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22060Geophysics/Geodesyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009Climate Change/Climate Change Impactshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000Atmospheric science.Geophysics.Planetary science.Climatic changes.Atmospheric Sciences.Geophysics and Environmental Physics.Planetary Sciences.Geophysics/Geodesy.Climate Change/Climate Change Impacts.551.577Suárez Moreno Robertoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut929725BOOK9910337899803321Interdecadal Changes in Ocean Teleconnections with the Sahel2089772UNINA
