             abstract = "The winds are one key forcing for oceanographic applications, as 
                         they are a major determinant of ocean circulation. In addition, 
                         the winds are key to understanding the flow of energy, mass and 
                         gases between the atmosphere and oceans. In this sense, the 
                         objective of this study is to determine the spatial and temporal 
                         variability of the wind in the western portion of the Equatorial 
                         Atlantic Ocean (4° N - 6.7° S, 52° W - 32.3° W). Twenty-five years 
                         (1987-2011) of wind speed and direction from the Cross-Calibrated 
                         Multi-Platform Ocean Surface Wind Vector (CCMP) with 5 days 
                         temporal and 25 km spatial resolution were used. The CCMP is 
                         derived from measurements collected by various satellites, weather 
                         stations and data from numerical modeling. In this project the 
                         methodology of harmonic analysis will be used to quantify the 
                         annual variability inter and intranual data. Overall CCMP 
                         represented correctly variability timeline of winds in the area 
                         because when compared with in situ data from the PIRATA project, 
                         we obtained a good correlation in the behavior of speeds and 
                         directions throughout the study period. Based on the results, we 
                         can infer that the annual cycle is mainly responsible for the 
                         variability of the pattern of meridional winds in the region. As 
                         for zonal wind, the adjustment of the annual model is not 
                         satisfactory with small values of Rē. Considering the values of 
                         intranual variability are larger than annual, it is concluded that 
                         these are the main periods of variability of zonal winds in the 
                         region.",
