Large-Scale Stability and the Greater Horn of Africa Long and Short Rains


Fig. 13.

Illustration of interannual variations in rainfall and hsh* and its components. Shown are 2017 vs 2018 differences between (a) mean seasonal precipitation and (b)–(e) mean seasonal hsh* and its components in the long rains, corresponding to the years with the largest year-on-year increase in rainfall in the data analyzed (highlighted in red in Fig. 12). Note that changes in h* are shown with their sign reversed such that positive values represent decreased stability, in line with the other panels. Geographic anticorrelations between rainfall and temperature have previously been noted in climatologies in the region by Ongoma and Chen (2017), in line with expectations of latent cooling of the surface.
