Abstract: A data processing method based on a kriging technique was developed to merge two data sources relative to wind velocity at the sea surface within a basin-scale region (the tropical Atlantic Ocean): one from in situ wind ...

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 ...

Abstract: This study aims to examine the relationship between the tropical Atlantic latent heat flux and convective cloud coverage over northeast Brazil (NEB) during the four months of the main rainy season (February?May). The ...

Abstract: he authors investigated the rainfall variability response in northern Northeast Brazil (NNEB) from El Niño/La Niña (EN/LN) events and from the meridional sea surface temperature gradient (MGRAD) over the tropical Atlantic ...

Abstract: Quality wind stress fields are desired for a wide range of oceanographic and atmospheric studies. An overview is presented of the monthly quick-look and research-quality tropical ocean wind (pseudostress) products produced ...

Abstract: The tropical Atlantic Ocean is characterized by a large seasonal cycle around which there are climatically significant interannual and decadal timescale variations. The most pronounced of these interannual variations are ...

Abstract: The Pilot Research Moored Array in the tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) was developed as a multinational observation network to improve our knowledge and understanding of ocean?atmosphere variability in the tropical Atlantic. ...
