A major accomplishment of the recently completed Tropical Ocean‐Global Atmosphere
(TOGA) Program was the development of an ocean observing system to support seasonal …

ABSTRACT Variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Tropical Atlantic dominate the
climate of the North Atlantic sector, the underlying ocean and surrounding continents on …

This book presents an in-depth discussion of the biological and ecological geography of the
oceans. It synthesizes locally restricted studies of the ocean to generate a global geography …

Beginning from the hypothesis by Bjerknes [1969] that ocean‐atmosphere interaction was
essential to the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, the Tropical Ocean …

Empirical orthogonal functions (E0Fs) and composite analyses are used to investigate the
development of sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly patterns over the tropical Atlantic …

Past analyses of tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature variability have suggested a
dipole behavior between the northern and southern tropics, across the Intertropical …

Improved observations in the tropical Pacific during the Tropical Ocean‐Global Atmosphere
(TOGA) program have served to corroborate preexisting notions concerning the seasonally …

This chapter reviews the progress made in the past decade in understanding tropical
Atlantic climate variability. In addition to an equatorially anti-symmetric seasonal cycle forced …

The Benguela is one of four major eastern boundary current regions of the World Ocean.
The oceanography off the west coast of southern Africa is dominated, like the regions off …

Rainfall variability over the Amazon basin has often been linked to variations in Pacific sea
surface temperature (SST), and in particular, to the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) …
