| Abstract | This paper examines the factors regulating rainfall and its interannual variability in equatorial Africa, focusing on the sector from 5 o N to 10 o S. Except for the eastern most regions, little attention has been paid to meteorological processes in this sector. Recent work shows that it has some of the greatest lightning frequency in the world and that intense mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs), rather than local convection, dominate the rainfall process. Here we examine several aspects of rainfall variability in the region: 1) the seasonal cycle and associated atmospheric dynamics, 2) the seasonal contributions to interannual variability, 3) the influence of SSTs in the global oceans on interannual variability, and 4) the relationship of MCCs to large-scale dynamics. Our results so far have shown that the dominant factors are quite diverse within this region and that they vary seasonally. For example, the equatorial Atlantic is the dominant factor in the boreal summer, but the Pacific is the dominant factor in the austral summer. Our work also shows that the links to East Africa and the Indian Ocean increases rapidly eastward. Finally, our results are interpreted in the context of a new picture of the continental monsoon of Africa.. | |||
