DOI: 10.1002/2017gl072588
Abstract: The annual upwelling is an important component of the equatorial Atlantic annual cycle. A simple theory is proposed using the framework of Zebiak-Cane (ZC) ocean model for insights into the dynamics of the upwelling annual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2019.01.003
Abstract: Abstract We investigated the variability of the first-order crustal structure and early post-rift stratigraphy of six segments of the African Equatorial Atlantic margin using sub-surface data (seismic and wells). Extension obliquity of the segments varies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020jb021390
Abstract: The oceanic lithosphere (crust and upper mantle) is formed along the mid-ocean ridges (MOR) in a 5–20 km wide zone above a mantle melting zone extending down to ∼60–100 km depth (Langmuir & Forsyth, 2007).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aax4111
Abstract: Future strong ENSO events, although projected to increase, are more difficult to predict as an Atlantic precursor weakens. Sea surface temperature variability in the equatorial eastern Atlantic, which is referred to as an Atlantic Niño… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/os-20-1067-2024
Abstract: Abstract. The eastern equatorial Atlantic (EEA) seasonal cycle and interannual variability strongly influence the climate of the surrounding continents. It is thus crucial that models used in both climate predictions and future climate projections are… read more here.
