The effect of a dynamic background albedo scheme on Sahel

The main driver behind Charney’s theory is a change in surface albedo, but the theory ignores other vegetation-related moisture feedbacks, such as increased transpiration, which could also affect rainfall (Xue and Shukla, 1993; Brovkin et al., 1998). Nevertheless, several GCM studies have shown that ...
