 | P. O. Box 3000 Boulder, co, 80307-3000 The variability of ssts in the tropical Atlantic is well represented in ccsm4 although the leading eof in ccsm4 shows more homogeneous warming than the leading eof in observations 3.04 Mb.  16 | read |
| Tropical Atlantic Oceanic Variability in the ccsm4 Ernesto Muñoz Benguela region indicates that the variability of ssts is dominated by vertical advection. The subtropical waters in the coupled configuration reach the Equator mainly from the South Atlantic 2.12 Mb. 6 | read |
| Tropical Atlantic Biases in ccsm4 Abf a similar problem arises in the coupled model if the atmospheric component produces alongshore winds that are too weak. Erroneously warm coastal ssts spread westward through a combination of advection and positive air-sea feedback involving marine 1.09 Mb. 5 | read |

| Precipitation from African Easterly Waves Itcz and its seasonal migration improves in the higher-resolution case. This suggests that capturing these transient waves and the resultant strong low-level convergence is one of the key ingredients for improving the simulation of precipitation in global 6.72 Mb. 4 | read |
| Intertropical Convergence Zone in the South Atlantic and the equatorial cold tongue The result is a zonal band of surface wind convergence that exceeds 10-6 1/s, rainfall stronger than 2 mm/day, and an associated decrease in ocean surface salinity of 2 ppt 0.49 Mb. 7 | read |
