In this paper, we propose a new approach for modeling and fitting high‐dimensional response regression models in the setting of complex spatio‐temporal dynamics. This study is motivated by investigating one of the major atmospheric phenomena, which drives the rainfall regime in Western Africa: West African Monsoon. We are particularly interested in studying the influence of sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Guinea on precipitation in Saharan and sub‐Saharan. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
