Mechanisms of inter-annual rainfall variability over tropical highlands of Africa and its predictability potential
Modes of climate variability over tropical Africa and adjacent Atlantic and Indian Oceans are investigated using continental monthly averages of gridded rainfall and temperature and marine environmental data, which consists of monthly averages of sea surface temperature, sea level pressure and …

Satellite derived rainfall over tropical Africa : its pattern variability and calibration
The major spatial and temporal structure of rainfall and zonal wind at seasonal and intra-seasonal time-scales over tropical Africa are identified by principal component analysis. Pentad CMAP rainfall and NCEP 700hPa zonal wind for the period 1980-2000 were used. Wavelet analysis is used to filter …

Impacts of Congo Convection on Tropical Africa's circulation, rainfall and resources
The impact of central African convection on surrounding circulation is examined. The convection over the Congo basin is estimated using satellite OLR (Outgoing Long Wave Radiation) as an index. It is then related to the regional and global circulation. OLR indices for the Congo area 15°-30°E, …
