Abstract

Tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures and surface winds vary together in a pattern termed the Atlantic Meridional Mode. Simulations with an ocean general circulation model that is driven by a record of dust radiative forcing suggest that dust emissions over West Africa substantially influence the state of the tropical Atlantic Ocean on interannual to decadal scales.
