Valley formation aridifies East Africa and elevates Congo Basin rainfall

Callum Munday et al.

Summary: The aridification of East Africa during the past 8 million years is often considered as a driving force behind changes in vegetation and the evolution of new animal lineages, including hominins. This study uses numerical model experiments to show that the valleys in the East African Rift System play a central role in creating dry conditions in East Africa. These valleys channel water vapor towards Central Africa, resulting in increased rainfall in the Congo Basin rainforest and drier conditions in East Africa. The findings suggest that the tectonic development of Africa has shaped rainfall distribution and influenced the evolution of African plant and animal lineages.

The sensitivity of the West African monsoon circulation to intraseasonal soil moisture feedbacks

Joshua Talib et al.

Summary: Intraseasonal soil moisture variability can feed back onto the West Africa monsoon circulation through its influence on surface turbulent fluxes and planetary boundary-layer characteristics. Surprisingly, even though the surface response across the Sahel to strong convection is short-lived, a coherent regional-scale surface response to intraseasonal variability is observed, which then influences the West African monsoon circulation.

Satellite-Observed Vegetation Responses to Intraseasonal Precipitation Variability

Bethan L. Harris et al.

Summary: Despite being important in many tropical regions, there is limited understanding of how vegetation responds to intraseasonal modes of rainfall variability. By using observations of precipitation and X-band Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD), researchers have found coherent intraseasonal relationships between rainfall and VOD, particularly in arid or semi-arid regions where vegetation is water-limited. The vegetation response tends to lag behind anomalous rainfall and is fastest in sparsely vegetated areas.

Observed Soil Moisture Impact on Strong Convection over Mountainous Tibetan Plateau

E. J. Barton et al.

Summary: Convective processes over the Tibetan Plateau are linked to heavy rain and flooding downstream in China. Understanding the factors influencing convection on the plateau can help improve forecasting of extreme events. Research shows that soil moisture gradients on a large scale affect the formation of convective systems in the eastern part of the plateau.

Subseasonal Precipitation Prediction for Africa: Forecast Evaluation and Sources of Predictability

Felipe M. de Andrade et al.

Summary: This study evaluates seasonal precipitation forecasts for Africa, indicating that the ECMWF model performs better in East Africa and there is a significant decrease in forecast skill in weeks 3-4. Probabilistic forecasts show reasonable skill in wet regions, but lower quality for near-normal categories.

Drivers and Subseasonal Predictability of Heavy Rainfall in Equatorial East Africa and Relationship with Flood Risk

David A. MacLeod et al.

Summary: Equatorial East Africa faces significant flood risks, which can be mitigated with preemptive action. Subseasonal climate forecasts show skill in predicting extreme rainfall events in the region at lead times of 2 weeks and beyond. Weekly rainfall totals are found to be relevant for fluvial flood risk, with heavy rainfall and high antecedent rainfall conditions identified as key drivers. Promising skill in subseasonal forecasts suggests their potential use in enhancing preparedness activities in the region.

Statistical approaches to assimilate ASCAT soil moisture information-I. Methodologies and first assessment

Filipe Aires et al.

Summary: The study compares different methods for handling the relationship between satellite observations and land surface variables in complex land surface conditions, such as statistical relationships, CDF-matching, and neural networks. The results indicate that the choice of method should depend on the specific application, with the inversion approach appearing better suited for certain scenarios.

Relationships between subseasonal-to-seasonal predictability and spatial scales in tropical rainfall

Vincent Moron et al.

Summary: The predictability of S2S tropical rainfall varies between land and sea, peaking at the start or end of the rainy season and decreasing during the core period; regions with small spatial scales and low skill, such as equatorial/northern tropical Africa and western Amazonia, are associated with small daily rainfall patch size and strong synoptic-scale variability; most of South and SE Asia has larger daily wet patches, modulated by intraseasonal oscillations, but the predictability is offset by large daily mean rainfall intensities.

Variability of the Turkana Low-Level Jet in Reanalysis and Models: Implications for Rainfall

James A. King et al.

Summary: The low-level jet (LLJ) blowing through the Turkana Channel in northwestern Kenya is strongest during wet seasons and has shown a significant weakening trend over the last 30-40 years in two out of three reanalyses. The LLJ is linked to regional warming patterns and zonal surface pressure gradients, affecting larger-scale climate dynamics like the Walker Circulation. Improving mapping processes of topographical observations onto model grids could lead to better simulation of East African climate.

Interannual Variations of Vegetation Optical Depth are Due to Both Water Stress and Biomass Changes

Alexandra G. Konings et al.

Summary: Recent studies on the relationship between VOD and biomass suggest that although they are highly correlated spatially, their temporal anomalies are almost uncorrelated. At a regional scale, VOD anomalies are more likely to be related to water stress, rather than biomass. Therefore, caution should be exercised when deriving biomass anomalies from VOD data, as they may be influenced by water stress factors.

Jiao Lu et al.

Summary: Land evaporation is crucial in the hydrological and energy cycle, but model-based products are subject to uncertainties. This study combines three existing model-based products to create a long-term daily ET product. The merged product performed well across different vegetation scenarios and captured trends in land evaporation globally.
