T he Pilot Research Moored Array in the tropical At lantic (PIR ATA) was developed as a multinational observation network by Brazil, France, and the United States to improve our knowledge and understanding of ocean–atmosphere variability in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. The variability of the ocean–atmosphere system in the tropical Atlantic, from intraseasonal to multidecadal time scales, strongly influences regional variations in rainfall, and consequently the economies of the adjacent continental regions. For example, variations in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and the West African monsoon affect rainfall and droughts in Africa and northeastern Brazil, *NOAA/Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory Contribution Number 3124.
