The West African monsoon is a complex interaction between the ocean, the land-surface and the atmosphere. Many studies showed a link between the seasonal cooling of the ocean in the Gulf of Guinea (equatorial upwelling) and the monsoon. The aim of this thesis is to explore the air-sea interaction mechanisms, which act on the coastal precipitation of the monsoon during boreal spring. The study is based on in situ and satellite measurements as well as reanalysis datasets. The 2006 monsoon season is analysed thanks to the vast set of observations collected by the AMMA (African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses) project during this year. This study has led to a description of the marine atmospheric boundary layer in the eastern equatorial Atla...
