Tropical ocean-atmosphere interactions in coupled models.The case of of the Equatorial thermocline and the northwest African upwelling

The tropics show great climate variability at different timescales. Part of this variability is related to the processes that couple the ocean and the atmosphere. Surface winds drive ocean currents, while the combination of wind stress and solar heating leads to the development of the mixed layer, t...
