Abstract
In a number of observational studies, the seasonal as well as the interannual variability in the tropical Atlantic has been analysed (Arnault, 1987; Houghton, 1993; Weingartner and Weisberger, 1987, 1991; Servain, 1993). The seasonal cycle of the tropical Atlantic ocean has been successfully simulated by simple and more complete general circulation ocean models (see the review by Duchene and Frankignoul (1990)). Details of this circulation specially difficult to simulate are the subject of recent studies with high resolution models (Johns et al. (1990), Schott and Boening (1991)).
