چکیده
We would like to start this response to the comment of Cotrim da Cunha et al. (2007, 2009) by thanking them for the time and effort they spent analyzing our published manuscript (Tovar-Sanchez et al. 2006). Although Cotrim da Cunha et al. recognized the validity of our new comprehensive data set that includes the first simultaneous measurements of metals in aerosols and in field populations of Trichodesmium, they argue with the interpretation of some of our results. Our responses to the comment of Cotrim da Cunha et al. are the following:

Contributions of Atlantic Ocean to June-August Rainfall over Uganda and Western Kenya
This study investigates the contributions of Atlantic Ocean to June-August rainfall over Uganda and western Kenya (KU). The study has utilized the datasets including precipitation from the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre, North Atlantic Oscillation Index (NAOI), South Atlantic Ocean Dipole Index (SAODI), ERA-interim reanalysis, and the Atlantic Ocean Sea Surface Temperature (SST). Singu...

This study has used TOMS AI as well as the reanalysis dataset of thirty-four years (1979-2012) to investigate the influence of atmospheric circulation on dust transport during the Harmattan period in West Africa, using Aerosol Index (AI) data, obtained from various satellite sensors. Changes in Inter-Tropical Discontinuity (ITD), Sea Surface Temperature (SST) over the Gulf of Guinea, and North ...
متن کاملNitrous oxide in the North Atlantic Ocean
In order to get a comprehensive picture of the distribution of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the North Atlantic Ocean, measurements of dissolved nitrous oxide were made during three cruises in the tropical, subtropical and coldtemperate North Atlantic Ocean in October/November 2002, March/April 2004, and May 2002, respectively. To account for the history of atmospheric N2O, we suggest a new depthdepen...
متن کاملGlobal Teleconnections in Response to a Shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation*
The global response to a shutdown of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is investigated by conducting a water-hosing experiment with a coupled ocean–atmosphere general circulation model. In the model, the addition of freshwater in the subpolar North Atlantic shuts off the AMOC. The intense cooling in the extratropical North Atlantic induces a widespread response over the glo...
متن کاملClimate variability in central equatorial Africa: Influence from the Atlantic sector
[1] We document a strong teleconnection between Central Equatorial African (CEA) rainfall (and Congo River discharge) and the large-scale circulation over the North Atlantic, throughout the boreal winter/spring season. Positive rainfall anomalies over CEA (at interannual and multiannual timescales) are related to anomalous westerly midtropospheric zonal winds over the CEA/Atlantic region. These...
