  abstract = {{A}n analysis of sea-surface temperature ({STT}) and surface winds in selected areas of the {T}ropical {A}tlantic indicates that the nonseasonal variability of {SST} in the {E}astern {E}quatorial {A}tlantic ({G}ulf of {G}uinea) is highly correlated with the nonseasonal variability of the zonal wind stress in the {W}estern {E}quatorial {A}tlantic. {A} negative (positive) anomaly of the zonal wind stress near the {N}orth {B}razilian coast is followed by a positive (negative) {SST} anomaly in the {G}ulf of {G}uinea about one month later. {F}urthermore, the correlation betweenthe local winds stress anomaly and {STT} anomaly in the {G}ulf of {G}uinea is considerably smaller. {T}hese preliminary results indicate that remote forcing in the {W}estern {E}quatorial {A}tlantic ocean is an important factor affecting the {E}astern {E}quatorial {A}tlantic sea-surface temperature. {R}ecent equatorial theories are consistent with these observations.
