Fig. 4: Sahelian monsoon rainfall responses to anomalous weak and strong SMOPI.
From: The global Sahel monsoon ocean-pressure index reconciles its regional and large-scale features
a–h Composite anomalies–defined as dry years (weak SMOP) minus 1965-2014 climatology (first line) and wet years (strong SMOPI) minus 1965-2014 climatology (second line)– of Sahelian monsoon rainfall are displayed for JRA55 (a, b), ERA5 (c, d), MPI-ESM1-2-LR (e, f) and CMIP6 (g, h). i–p Same as in (a–h), but for the standardized anomaly of the vertically integrated (1000-100 hPa) moisture flux convergence.
