The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Climate change, food security, and livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa (2016, background): “Estimates are derived for changes in agro-climatic norms, such as precipitation (Funk et al. 2008), the length of the growing season (Sarr 2012), water availability, and soil moisture (Kunstmann and Jung 2005).”
Rainfall and Temperature Trend Analysis by Mann–Kendall Test and Significance for Rainfed Cereal Yields in Northern Togo (2020, background): “This is characterised by irregularity in onset as well as overall shortening of the rainy season, delay of the arrival of potentially useful rains, poor distribution of rainfall over the year, high temperatures, drought spells and floods [6].”
Livelihood adaptations to climate variability: insights from farming households in Ghana (2014, background): “Although climate predictions are not clear on future rainfall patterns, studies suggest that there will be increased incidences of extreme events coupled with a shortening of the rainy season in many parts of West Africa (IPCC 2013; Sarr 2012; Van de Giesen et al. 2010).”
