  abstract = {{T}he climate of the tropics is characterized by a strong interaction between the land surface conditions and the monsoon dynamics controlling the formation of precipitation. {T}he water cycle of these regions is thus both a controlling factor and a depending factor of the climate dynamics. {W}est {A}frica, which suffered the most extensive and severe drought worldwide in the 20th century, may be viewed as a paradigm for studying this interaction. {O}ne major issue when trying to relate climate to the water cycle is the scale gap between the models commonly used for climate simulations and the models used for hydrological studies.
