Objective	The PIRATA project is a joint effort between Brazil, France and the United States to collect oceanic and meteorological observations in the tropical Atlantic. The experimental program PIRATA (initially « Pilot Research moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic » and named « Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic » from 2008) has been implemented in 1997 in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean (Servain et al. 1998; Bourlès et al., 2008, 2019). It has been launched in the framework of the international program CLIVAR (CLImatic VARiability and predictability) and implies scientific teams from three countries: France (IRD, in charge of coordination and oceanic cruises, Météo France, with contributions by IFREMER and CNRS/INSU), Brazil (DHN and INPE) and USA (NOAA/PMEL). Financial supports for the program are from the IRD, Météo France, and Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées/Université Paul Sabatier. Its main goal is to improve our knowledge and understanding of ocean-atmosphere variability in the tropical Atlantic, a region that strongly influences the hydro¿climates and, consequently, the economies of the regions bordering the Atlantic Ocean (e.g., West Africa, Northern Brazil, the West Indies, and the United States). PIRATA is motivated not only by fundamental scientific questions but also by societal needs for improved prediction of weather and climate variability and their impacts (Bourlès et al., 2008; 2019).
