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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aAtmospheric science 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aPlanetary science 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aAtmospheric Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000 606 $aGeophysics and Environmental Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P32000 606 $aPlanetary Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22060 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 615 0$aAtmospheric science. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aPlanetary science. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 14$aAtmospheric Sciences. 615 24$aGeophysics and Environmental Physics. 615 24$aPlanetary Sciences. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 676 $a551.577 700 $aSuárez Moreno$b Roberto$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0929725 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337899803321 996 $aInterdecadal Changes in Ocean Teleconnections with the Sahel$92089772 997 $aUNINA
