Background albedo dynamics improve simulated precipitation variability in the Sahel region
Using the general circulation model ECHAM5–JSBACH forced by observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) for the 20th century, we investigate the role of vegetation and land surface albedo dynamics in shaping rainfall variability in the Sahel. We use two different land surface albedo schemes, one in whi...
