Sub-Saharan rainfall anomalies and global sea-surface temperature relationships for the recent fifteen year (1970-1984) periodThe results of this rainfall index-sea surface temperature (SST) correlation analysis suggest that interannual fluctuations in SST, which are dominated by El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events have a significant influence on the oscillatory behavior of sub-Saharan rainfall anomalies. It is noted that the sub-Saharan rainfall correlates significantly with tropical Pacific as well as with Empirical Orthogonal Functions 1 (EOF1) of the Atlantic SST anomalies.
