| Abstract | 10 Africa, a continent endowed with huge water resources that sustain its agricultural activities i s 11 increasingly coming under threat from impacts of climate extremes (droughts and floods), which 12 puts the very precious water resource into jeopardy. Understanding the relationship betwe en 13 climate variability and water storage over the cont inent, therefore, is paramount in order to 14 inform future water management strategies. This study employs Gravity Recovery And Climate 15 Experiment (GRACE) satellite products and the higher order (fourth order cumu lant) statistical 16 independent component analysis (ICA) method to study the relationship between Terres trial 17 Water Storage (TWS) changes and five global climate-teleconnection indices; El Niño-Southern 18 Oscillation (ENSO), North Atlantic Oscillatio n (NAO), Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), 19 Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) over Africa for the period 2 |
