Modes of tropical Atlantic climate variability observed by PIRATA
Open accessAbstract
The geography of the Pilot moored Research Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) was especially designed to observe the two main modes of climate variability in the tropical Atlantic: the equatorial mode (equivalent to the warm events in the Pacific Ocean), and the meridional mode, also known as the dipole mode. This paper is an attempt, using the first available PIRATA data, to evaluate the presence of the two modes, as well as their relationship with the current array configuration.

The Atlantic Niño is much weaker than its Pacific counterpart.
“However, the Atlantic Niño is much weaker than its Pacific counterpart (Carton and Huang, 1994, Latif and Grötzner, 2000, Servain et al., 2003, Zebiak, 1993).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
