The long-term downward trend in Sahelian summer rainfall is a unique feature in recent tropical fluctuations and has been associated with SST trends in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
“Such a long-term downward trend in Sahelian summer rainfall is a unique feature in recent tropical fluctuations, and it has been associated with SST trends in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (Fol-land et al. 1986;Shinoda and Kawamura 1994;Bader and Latif 2003;Giannini et al. 2003;Lu and Delworth 2005).”

The Introduction describes a long-term decrease in Sahelian rainfall, and the Conclusions link the decline to Indian Ocean warming trends. The Conclusions instead associate the tropical Atlantic SST pattern mainly with shorter-term, interannual variation; our copy also does not establish that the Sahelian trend is unique among recent tropical fluctuations.

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.
