The relation between Sahelian rainfall and the Atlantic SST meridional mode was more important before 1970, during the wet Sahel period.
“The relation between the Sahelian rainfall and the so-called Atlantic SST meridional mode (Chang et al. 1997) was pointed out to be more important before 1970, during the wet Sahel period (Janicot et al. 1996;Janicot et al. 2001)”
From Tropical Atlantic variability modes (1979-2002). Part I: Time-evolving SST modes related to West African rainfall (2008) · cites this paper as Chang et al. 1997

“Two different types of coupled variability have been proposed: a dipole or meridional mode (e.g., Chang et al. 1997) and an equatorial mode (Zebiak 1993), which is similar to El Niño– Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
