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.
