  abstract = {{T}he intraseasonal time scale is critical in {W}est {A}frica where resources are highly rainfall dependent. {T}hree main modes of variability have been identified, two with a mean periodicity of 15 days and one with a mean periodicity around 40 days. {T}hese modes have a regional scale and can strongly influence precipitation and convective activity. {T}hey are mainly controlled by atmospheric dynamics and land-surface interactions. {T}hey can also modulate the very specific phase of the {A}frican summer monsoon onset. {A} better knowledge of the mechanisms controlling this scale is necessary to improve its predictability. {C}opyright.},
