Satellite-derived interannual variability of West African rainfall during 1983-88

Two satellite algorithms for rain estimation were used to study the interannual variability of West African rainfall during contrasting years of the period 1983-88. The interannual variability of rainfall in the Sahel is well described by that of cold clouds and average radiances.
