Uncertainties in the Annual Cycle of Rainfall Characteristics over West Africa in CMIP5 Models

We analyse uncertainties associated with the main features of the annual cycle of West African rainfall (amplitude, timing, duration) in 15 CMIP5 simulations over the Sahelian and Guinean regions with satellite daily precipitation estimates. The annual cycle of indices based on daily rainfall such a...
