• Origin of Weakened Interannual Sea Surface Temperature Variability in the Southeastern Tropical Atlantic Ocean 

      Prigent, ArthurORCIDiD; Imbol Koungue, Rodrigue AnicetORCIDiD; Lübbecke, Joke F.ORCIDiD; Brandt, PeterORCIDiD; Latif, MojibORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
      Observations and reanalysis products are used to investigate the substantial weakening in the southeastern tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) variability since 2000. Relative to 1982–1999, the March-April-May ...
    • The Atlantic Subtropical Cells Inferred from Observations 

      Tuchen, Franz PhilipORCIDiD; Lübbecke, Joke F.ORCIDiD; Schmidtko, SunkeORCIDiD; Hummels, RebeccaORCIDiD; Böning, Claus W.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2019)
      The Atlantic Subtropical Cells (STCs) are shallow wind-driven overturning circulations connecting the tropical upwelling areas to the subtropical subduction regions. In both hemispheres, they are characterized by equatorward ...
    • Transports and Pathways of the Tropical AMOC Return Flow From Argo Data and Shipboard Velocity Measurements 

      Tuchen, Franz PhilipORCIDiD; Brandt, PeterORCIDiD; Lübbecke, Joke F.ORCIDiD; Hummels, RebeccaORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022-02-05)
      The upper‐ocean circulation of the tropical Atlantic is a complex superposition of thermohaline and wind‐driven flow components. The resulting zonally and vertically integrated upper‐ocean meridional flow is referred to ...
