Assessing the Capabilities of Three Regional Climate Models over CORDEX Africa in Simulating West African Summer Monsoon Precipitation

<div>Standardized Precipitation Index for JJA associated with (a) El Nino events (using data for 1991/1992, 1997/1998, and 2002/2003) and (b) La Nina events (using data for 1998/1999, 1999/2000, and 2000/2001) as simulated by CORDEX RCMs, compared against the ground observation data and TRMM observation (TRMM excluded for El Nino because of data availability).</div>
