A systematic study of Benguela Niño and Benguela Niña events during 1958 to 2015
including those that developed before the satellite era (1982) is carried out using an ocean

A systematic study of all the Benguela Niño and Benguela Niña events including those that
developed before the satellite era (1982) is carried out using an ocean general circulation
model (OGCM) in combination with a linear equatorial model. From 1958 to 2015, 21 strong
anomalous coastal events are identified among which 6 undocumented extreme coastal
events are reported. Results suggest that most of these extreme coastal warm and cold
events including the newly identified ones are linked to remote equatorial forcing. Equatorial …
