This study presents new findings on the link between interannual variabilities of atmospheric circulations over the North Atlantic and precipitation over the African Sahel (P-S). Our analysis shows a meridionally stratified circulation wave train resembling the East Atlantic (EA) mode, apparently connected to P-S through Rossby wave dispersion in the middle troposphere originating from the North Atlantic. However, the Climate Forecast System version 2 fails to depict the EA and its P-S impact. Because the EA explains 29% of variance of P-S, this portion of P-S variability is either missing in the seasonal forecast, or being made up by an alternative process.
