In this book the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) patterns of
decadal-to-multidecadal variability observed and simulated by 17
general circulation models (GCMs) are analyzed. Furthermore, their
impact on precipitation in West Africa and South America and the
atmospheric mechanisms involved are assessed. Through this
analysis, the effect of external forcings on these impacts and the
relative contribution of decadal-to-multidecadal variability
patterns of SST to precipitation are presented in depth. Finally, a
humid period in the West African region of the Sahel during the
19th century, previously little documented, is analyzed using an
atmospheric GCM. The monsoons of West Africa and South America have
shown changes in the timescales of a few decades. Previous work
suggests a relationship with patterns of decadal-to-multidecadal
variability of SST, such as global warming and the Atlantic and
Pacific variability. However, the dynamics underlying this
relationship and its simulation by current GCMs had not been
addressed in a consistent manner. This is the main motivation of
this book. The results of this book not only represent a great step
forward in our understanding of the changes in the precipitation
regimes of the studied regions, but they can also be of great help
for the improvement of decadal prediction systems and the
associated social consequences.
