abstract = "A hybrid ocean-atmosphere coupled model is used to study the
interannual variability of sea surface temperature and wind stress
over the tropical Atlantic. The coupled model is composed of a
statistical atmospheric component model that uses sea surface
temperature anomalies (SSTA) over the tropical oceans to forecast
wind stress anomalies over the tropical Atlantic, coupled to a
general circulation model of the ocean configured over the
Atlantic. It is shown that, while the Atlantic-only hybrid coupled
model has damped oscillations of SSTA and wind stress, the
inclusion of Pacific SSTA variability in the coupled model
resulted in sustained oscillations of wind stress and SSTA over
the equatorial Atlantic.",
