  abstract = {{T}he link between the boreal spring sea surface salinity ({SSS}) and the {M}ay-{J}une-{J}uly ({MJJ}) sea surface temperature ({SST}) in the equatorial {A}tlantic {C}old {T}ongue ({ACT}) region is investigated at interannual time scales from 1990-2012 using observations and model. {R}esults reveal a significant correlation between {A}pril-{M}ay-{J}une ({AMJ}) interannual {SSS} anomalies ({SSSA}) and the {MJJ} {SST} anomalies ({SSTA}). {M}ost of extreme interannual {SSSA} appear the years of extreme interannual {SSTA} in the {ACT} region. {T}hus, major salty and desalted {ACT} events are followed by 1-month major warm and cold {ACT} events and confirms the idea that boreal spring {SSSA} could be used as a predictor of {ACT} events. {B}ased on the model mixed-layer salinity budget and sensitivity experiments, we found that the interannual variability of the {SSS} is mainly controlled by horizontal advection during salty and desalted {ACT} events and changes in the horizontal advection are largely due to changes in winds.},
