Abstract: Vertical and horizontal structure of near-bottom currents at two locations in the eastern tropical Pacific (9°26?N, 151°17?W; 14°38?N, 125°29?W) have been studied. Low-frequency currents at these sites, located in a region ...

Abstract: The low-frequency (<0.25 cph) velocity and bottom pressure variability were studied in the northeast Gulf of Alaska from March to August 1976. Measurements of velocity in 100, 185 and 250 m of water showed a contrast between ...

Abstract: Upper-ocean current and temperature records from neat 0°, 110°W are compared with Galapagos Island sea level measurements (0°3?S, 91°28?W) for the period March 1980 to July 1981. Low-frequency (periods greater than 30 days) ...

Abstract: We report observations of the vertical structure of horizontal currents on the equator at 110°W in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Profiles indicate high, vertical-mode, deep currents with zonal velocities of up to 20 cm s?1 ...

Abstract: A free-fall instrument, TOPS, measures vertical profiles of horizontal ocean velocity, conductivity and temperature. Profiling capability extends throughout the full water column (6000 db pressure limitation). Larger ...

Abstract: Moored wind measurements at near-equatorial locations along 110°W, 125°W, 140°W, 170°W, and 165°E are used to investigate the space-time variability of the tropical Pacific wind field. These measurements complement previous ...

Abstract: Temporal correlations between near-equatorial surface wind and sea-surface temperatures (SST) at 11°W in the eastern Pacific Ocean are investigated using data from an array of moored sensors between 5°N and 5°S. The signature ...

Abstract: An analysis of nine hydrographic sections collected in 1979?81 along 110°W in the equatorial Pacific Ocean is presented. Sections typically sampled the upper 500 m of the water column from 10°N to 3°S. Analysis concentrated ...

Abstract: The importance of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon in year-to-year fluctuations of the global climate has led to efforts to improve the real-time ocean observing system in the tropical Pacific. One element of ...

Abstract: Sea-level fluctuations during 1978?80 at equatorial Pacific islands separated by as much as one-quarter of the earth's circumference are coherent at periods of 1?6 weeks with phases implying eastward propagation. Eastward ...
