SWAG:
Sea-Wind-Aerosols interaction Generating
disturbances and extreme events

The SWAG project aims at a better understanding of the impact of the surface-atmosphere coupling on atmospheric disturbances and their consequences, including extreme events, in the tropical Atlantic. We are particularly interested in the role of the coupling in West Africa and the surrounding Eastern Atlantic Tropical Ocean regions, which are key regions of the global climate, in particular concerning tropical cyclogenesis.
