Abstract: Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the coastal and equatorial upwelling in the eastern Atlantic (Guinea Gulf). The most controversial is the mechanism of remote wind forcing in the western equatorial Atlantic ...

Abstract: Long time series of sea level and sea surface temperatures measured at different coastal stations along the northern coast of the Gulf of Guinea are analyzed statistically. The results indicate that pronounced fortnightly ...

Abstract: A numerical model incorporating a single baroclinic mode and realistic coastline geometry is used to analyze the linear, dynamic response to estimates of the seasonal wind field over the tropical Atlantic Ocean. The forced ...

Abstract: Several studies using sea level observations and coupled models have shown that heat buildup in the western equatorial Pacific is a necessary condition for a major El Niño to develop. However, none of these studies has ...

Abstract: An analysis of sea-surface temperature (SST) and surface winds in selected areas of the tropical Atlantic indicates that the nonseasonal variability of SST in the eastern equatorial Atlantic (Gulf of Guinea) is highly ...
