Sampling Requirements for the Surface Wind Field over the Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Water-Mass and Transport Variability at 110°W in the Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
TOGA-TAO: A Moored Array for Real-time Measurements in the Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Variability in the Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean during the 1986–87 El Niño/Southern Oscillation Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We describe variability in the western Pacific Ocean during the 1986?87 El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event, with emphasis on time series measurements of currents, temperature, sea level and winds near the equator ...
