Teleconnections and variability in observed rainfall over Saudi Arabia during 1978–2010
Abstract The analyses of monthly and annual variability, and the seasonal teleconnections with the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), El‐Niño Southern Oscillation ( ENSO ), and the North Atlantic Oscillation ( NAO ) circulation indices, for rainfall from 26 stations in Saudi Arabia ( SA ), for 33‐year perio...
