The South Atlantic sub-tropical dipole mode since the last deglaciation and changes in rainfall

Ilana Wainer et al.

Summary: The South Atlantic subtropical dipole (SASD) has a significant impact on South American rainfall, with meltwater forcing being the main driver of variability. Lower frequency energy for the SASD, particularly during cold events, comes from meltwater discharge. Changes in the latitudinal gradient of South Atlantic sea surface temperature and Northward heat transport are attributed to the meltwater discharge, leading to significant rainfall changes in Northeastern Brazil.

Relating model bias and prediction skill in the equatorial Atlantic

Francois Counillon et al.

Summary: Anomaly coupling improves the accuracy and reliability of reanalysis in the tropical Atlantic and enhances seasonal prediction skill in the equatorial Atlantic. However, it may slightly dampen the amplitude of Atlantic Nino and Nina events, and there is a predictability barrier in June forecasting.

Diabatic heating governs the seasonality of the Atlantic Nino

Hyacinth C. Nnamchi et al.

Summary: The Atlantic Nino's seasonality is largely governed by atmospheric diabatic heating associated with the seasonal migration of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone. Variability in precipitation leads to an increase in the seasonality of the Atlantic Nino, outweighing the variability in sea-surface temperature.
