dc.description.abstract	In this paper we analyze the first five years of the first global land and ocean remote-sensing record of rainfall. We distill the information into a few objective indices, the first principal components of the rain anomaly, and extend them back in time to show how the global remote-sensing record implies that El Nino is indeed the major driver of the global interannual variability of rainfall.	en
