Understanding the Zonal Variability in Projections of Sahel Precipitation

Geophysical Research Letters
The uncertainty in precipitation projections across the Sahel has persisted across generations of climate models. Many projections show a zonal dipole in the sign of precipitation change, with wetting across the Central Sahel and drying across the ...

Integration of a WASH Component in the Standard National Protocol for Treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition in Children Aged 6–59 Months in Northern Senegal—A Costing Study

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study provides the first cost analysis of integrating a WASH kit into outpatient SAM treatment in Senegal, highlighting key cost drivers and potential efficiencies for scale‐up. Findings offer practical insights for planning and budgeting integrated WASH‐nutrition interventions in similar settings.

PS‐SAM: A Mixed Methods Study to Understand Current Practice and the Facilitators and Barriers to the Utilisation of Psycho‐Social Stimulation Interventions in Severe Acute Malnutrition

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Psycho‐social stimulation interventions, recommended in the WHO guidelines for severe acute malnutrition (SAM), have been demonstrated to improve neurodevelopment and growth. However, interventions which have proven effective in clinical trials are resource‐intensive and may be challenging in many contexts.

Notable Influence of Internal Variability on the Perceived Difference Between Central and Eastern Pacific El Niño Teleconnections

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract The El Niño‐Southern Oscillation has two warm phase flavors of Eastern Pacific (EP) and Central Pacific (CP) El Niños that exhibit seemingly distinct global teleconnections, but the limited observational sample leaves open whether and where these differences are robust.

Confronting Historical Precipitation Trends in Models With Observations: Forced Signal and Atmospheric Internal Variability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Future precipitation projections rely heavily on climate models, underscoring the need to evaluate their ability to simulate historical precipitation changes. Using multiple atmospheric models and ensemble simulations, we estimate the forced signals driven by sea surface warming and the direct effects of greenhouse gases and aerosols, as well ...

Resolving Convection Doubles Sahel's Contribution to Global Dust Emission During the Monsoon Season

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Current climate models struggle to capture the mean state and variability of dust emissions. This is partially due to their inability to resolve convection, a consequence of their relatively coarse spatial resolution. Via analysis of output from an offline dust emission scheme forced with output from a global storm‐resolving model, we show ...

Trend of North African Dust Storms and Potential Link to Climate Change

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Over recent decades, North African dust storms have undergone marked variability, reflecting complex interactions between regional climate processes and environmental change. Using four decades (1984–2023) of visibility‐based observational records, we examine regional and seasonal trends in dust storm frequency across the Sahel and the Sahara,
