Scientific issues
Disturbances induced by the ocean-atmosphere coupling off West Africa
To what extent and by what process do the upwellings in the Eastern tropical Atlantic region affect the African Easterly Waves and the vorticity associated with Meso-scale Convective systems?
The role of aerosols – Toward an ocean-atmosphere-continent coupling
How do the (thermo)dynamical
components of the West African Monsoon and the
processes associated with desert aerosols interact? What is the impact of aerosols on
cyclogenesis off the coast of West Africa?
Extreme disturbances: tropical cyclones
What is the impact of the atmospheric and oceanic environment on
the transition of mesoscale cyclonic vortices to tropical storms and cyclones, offshore West
Africa?
