Climate Models Lack Jet–Rainfall Coupling over West Africa

Climate Models Lack Jet–Rainfall Coupling over West Africa

Changes in large-scale dynamics over West Africa-the strength and position of zonal jets-are a key interim step by which local and remote forcing is communicated into changes in rainfall. This study identifies a key mode of jet variability and demonstrates how it is strongly coupled with rainfall. T...
