Impact of Trans-Atlantic-Pacific Ocean Dipole–like pattern on summer precipitation variability over West Africa

ZH Lin, D Victor Nnamdi - Atmospheric and Oceanic Science …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Recent findings indicate that rainfall variability over West Africa is characterized by more
positive anomalies in the last four decades. The authors demonstrate that the recent
interannual rainfall variability is linked to an air–sea phenomenon that occurs in the tropical
Atlantic and eastern Pacific Ocean, and then propose the Trans-Atlantic-Pacific Ocean
Dipole (TAPOD) index as a measure for this tropical ocean phenomenon, which is found to
be closely correlated with the West African summer rainfall anomalies. Using observational …
