Abstract
Tropical Atlantic Variability (TAV) is simulated in a coupled GCM. The TAV seems to be consistent with a dipole mode that involves both surface and subsurface oceanic dynamics. The poor correlation of the tropical North and South Atlantic SST is suggested to be distorted by the presence of a symmetric tropical Atlantic mode. Copyright Β© 2000 Royal Meteorological Society.

We have analyzed the tropical disturbances in a 1 l-layer atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) on a 2.5Β°x3.75 Β° horizontal grid coupled to a 50 mmixed layer ocean. Due to the coarse resolution, the GCM is unable to resolve adequately tropical cyclones. The tropical disturbances simulated by t
