West African Rainfall Predictability by NARI

Exploring the predictability of weather-within-climate variability of rainfall using the North Atlantic SST Relative Index (NARI) - Total Rainfall - Number of Wet Days - Rainfall Intensity - Number of Dry Spells - Number of Wet Spells 3 rainfall datasets (TAMSAT v3, CHIRPS, and ARC2) are used individually with the NARI to calculate the tercile probabilities of 5 rainfall characteristics of West Africa 1983-2014.
