Abstract: istorical section data extending to 1985 are used to estimate the interannual variability of transport entering the Coral Sea between New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands. Typical magnitudes of this variability are ±5?8 ...

Abstract: rgo float data in the tropical Pacific Ocean during January 2003?August 2011 are analyzed to obtain Lagrangian subsurface velocities at their parking depths. Maps of mean zonal velocities at 1000 and 1500 m are presented. ...

Abstract: A large reversal of zonal transport below the thermocline was observed over a period of 6 months in the western Pacific Ocean between 2°S and the equator [from 26.2 Sv (1 Sv ≡ 106 m3 s?1) eastward in October 1999 to 28.6 ...

Abstract: hanges in the global water cycle are expected as a result of anthropogenic climate change, but large uncertainties exist in how these changes will be manifest regionally. This is especially the case over the tropical oceans, ...

Abstract: he semienclosed Solomon Sea is the final passage in the equatorward transit of the South Pacific western boundary currents (WBCs) that play a key role in heat and mass budgets of the equatorial Pacific. The Solomon WBCs ...
