They seem to be linked to specific configurations of the tropical Atlantic Ocean thermal fields. Thus, the change of the seasonal interhemispheric thermal gradient recorded after 1973-1975 in the Atlantic Ocean has been partly correlated with the fall of rainfall observed for 30 years in Côte d’Ivoire. The thermal variations of the Equatorial and Southern Atlantic Ocean can also impose rainfall variations in Côte d’Ivoire, even if other forcings also seem to exist. These oceano-atmospheric interactions have a notable impact on the space-time variability of the vegetation fires in Côte d’Ivoire, by influencing the seasonal intensity of the fires on the one hand as well as their more or less early appearance during the dry season on the other hand. But any attempt at understanding the interactions between climate and vegetation must be based on a dynamic vision of the vegetation cover taking into account anthropogenic modifications, particularly in the forested areas of the western part of the country.
