Skilful prediction of Sahel summer rainfall on inter-annual and multi-year timescales
Summer rainfall in the Sahel region of Africa exhibits one of the largest signals of climatic variability and with a population reliant on agricultural productivity, the Sahel is particularly vulnerable to major droughts such as occurred in the 1970s and 1980s. Rainfall levels have subsequently recovered, but future projections remain uncertain. Here we show that Sahel rainfall is skilfully pre...
متن کاملSkilful multi-year predictions of tropical trans-basin climate variability
Tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies influence the atmospheric circulation, impacting climate far beyond the tropics. The predictability of the corresponding atmospheric signals is typically limited to less than 1 year lead time. Here we present observational and modelling evidence for multi-year predictability of coherent trans-basin climate variations that are characterized by a...
متن کاملAdvancing Indian Monsoon Rainfall Predictions
Despite great strides made in seasonal climate forecasting using dynamical models, skill in predicting the Indian monsoon is woefully poor. Our analysis of the reasons for failure exposes a flaw in the popular design of dynamical prediction systems. The approach of driving atmospheric models with a projected ocean surface temperature presupposes Indian monsoon variability to be a consequence so...
متن کاملModelling and simulation of seasonal rainfall
Abstract: We propose and justify a model for seasonal rainfall using a copula of maximum entropy to model the joint distribution and using gamma distributions to model the marginal monthly rainfalls. The model allows correlation between individual months and thereby enables a much improved model for seasonal variation. A central theme is the principle of maximum entropy which we use to find the...
