Short summary
We evaluate the eastern equatorial Atlantic's (EEA's) seasonal cycle and interannual variability in the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project Phases 1 and 2 (OMIP1 and OMIP2) for 1985–2004. While both simulate EEA patterns, biases like a diffusive thermocline and insufficient cooling exist during the development of the Atlantic cold tongue. OMIP1 exhibits 51% (33%) larger interannual sea surface temperature (sea surface height) variability than OMIP2, attributed to differences in wind forcing.
