    • Diabatic heating governs the seasonality of the Atlantic Niño 

      Nnamchi, Hyacinth C; Latif, Mojib; Keenlyside, Noel; Kjellsson, Joakim; Richter, Ingo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Atlantic Niño is the leading mode of interannual sea-surface temperature (SST) variability in the equatorial Atlantic and assumed to be largely governed by coupled ocean-atmosphere dynamics described by the Bjerknes-feedback ...

    • An Equatorial–Extratropical Dipole Structure of the Atlantic Niño 

      Nnamchi, Hyacinth C; Li, Jianping; Kucharski, Fred; Kang, In-Sik; Keenlyside, Noel; Chang, Ping; Farneti, Riccardo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Equatorial Atlantic variability is dominated by the Atlantic Niño peaking during the boreal summer. Studies have shown robust links of the Atlantic Niño to fluctuations of the St. Helena subtropical anticyclone and Benguela ...

    • A Satellite Era Warming Hole in the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean 

      Nnamchi, Hyacinth C; Latif, Mojib; Keenlyside, Noel; Park, Wonsun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Observations during the satellite era 1979–2018 only depict small sea surface temperature (SST) trends over the Equatorial Atlantic cold tongue region in boreal summer. This lack of surface warming of the cold tongue, ...

    • Thermodynamic controls of the Atlantic Niño 

      Nnamchi, Hyacinth C; Li, Jianping; Kucharski, Fred; Kang, In-Sik; Keenlyside, Noel; Chang, Ping; Farneti, Riccardo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-26)
      Prevailing theories on the equatorial Atlantic Niño are based on the dynamical interaction between atmosphere and ocean. However, dynamical coupled ocean-atmosphere models poorly simulate and predict equatorial Atlantic ...
