African Monsoon decadal variability interannual variability Sahelian rainfall SST forced response We review the studies carried out during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA)-EU on the changes of interannual sea surface temperature (SST)-West African monsoon (WAM) covariability at multidecadal timescales, together with the influence of global warming (GW). The results obtained in the AMMA-EU suggest the importance of the background state, modulated by natural and anthropogenic variability, in the appearance of different interannual modes. The lack of reliability of current coupled models in giving a realistic assessment for WAM in the future is also stated. 2011 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053191 fdi:010053191 Rodriguez-Fonseca B., Janicot Serge, Mohino E., Losada T., Bader J., Caminade C., Chauvin F., Fontaine B., Garcia-Serrano J., Gervois S., Joly M., Polo I., Ruti P., Roucou P., Voldoire A..
