This study presents analysis of the Tropical Instability Waves in
the Atlantic. Using the temperature, salinity, and velocity data
from the PIRATA mooring at 0N, 23W we argue that the baroclinic
and barotropic energy conversions are equally important in feeding
energy to TIWs if the wave-induced salinity fluctuations are taken
into account. Whole
