СКАЧАТЬ Its strength is maintained by an anticyclonic circulation associated with the mid‐level high pressure cell over southern Africa (Kuete et al., 2020). The AEJ‐S is characterized by a jet streak circulation (e.g., Uccellini & Johnson, 1979), such that there is convergence in the right entrance quadrant of the jet promotes ascent and convection (Jackson et al., 2009).

      The data utilized in this study include two satellite estimates of precipitation and two gauge‐data sets. This array of indicators is considered for several reasons. For one, the satellite record includes only a relatively recent period while the gauge data is very sparse in recent years. Also, the various satellite products differ with respect to temporal and spatial resolution and are hence applicable to different analyses. Finally, because of uncertainties in all of the data products, the most realistic characterization of the Congo hydrologic regime can be gleaned by the combination.
