6 [1] Using sea surface temperature (SST), precipitation, and atmospheric information, this 7 statistical study revisits the questions of the July–September SST‐Sahel teleconnection 8 variability after removing impact of quasi‐global SSTs over the period 1900–2008. The 9 eastern Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean dominate the relationship, both in terms of 10 intensity and time stability, with ...

In the Sahel zone of West Africa that extends from Senegal to Chad, temperatures can vary from less than 15 ̋C to 25 ̋C from November to February. These low temperatures affect the growth, development and yield of rice plants, and therefore constitute a major constraint to rice production in the Sahel. In order to identify rice varieties tolerant to cold stress at different developmental stages...

Abstract. Here we present hydrological and vegetation paleo-data extracted from 28 sites in West Africa 5? S to 19? N the past1000/PMIP4 IPSL-CM6A-LR climate model simulations covering 850–1850 CE period document environmental climatic changes that occurred during Little Ice Age (LIA). The comparison between shows a clear contrast area spanning Sahel savannah north, characterized by widespread ...
