The tropical Atlantic is home to multiple coupled climate variations covering a wide range of
timescales and impacting societally relevant phenomena such as continental rainfall …

In this paper, we review observational and modelling results on the upwelling in the tropical
Atlantic between 10∘ N and 20∘ S. We focus on the physical processes that drive the …

Abstract Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) is a
multinational program initiated in 1997 in the tropical Atlantic to improve our understanding …

Sea surface temperature (SST) is a critical control on the atmosphere, and numerical models
of atmosphere–ocean circulation emphasize its accurate prediction. Yet many models …

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 …

We investigate the causes of the seasonal cycle of the near‐surface salinity using a mixed‐
layer salinity model and a combination of satellite products, atmospheric reanalyses, and in …

Observational data and numerical modeling were used to investigate oceanic current wakes
surrounding Fernando de Noronha Island (3° 51′ S–32° 25′ W) and Rocas Atoll (3° 52 …

Seasonal variability of the tropical Atlantic circulation is dominated by the annual cycle, but
semiannual variability is also pronounced, despite weak forcing at that period. This study …

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the eastern tropical Atlantic are crucial for climate
variability within the tropical belt. Despite this importance, state-of-the-art climate models …

The contributions of the dynamic and thermodynamic forcing to the interannual variability of
the equatorial Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) are investigated using a set of …
