Abstract: The influence of relatively slow changes in sea surface temperature on regional climate variability can provide a basis for medium-term (seasonal to decadal) prediction of many environmental factors. Research now shows that the sea surface temperature in the tropical South Atlantic can act as a dominant driver of rainfall variability, and hence outbreaks of malaria in northwest India.
