Abstract: Long-range P-3 aircraft have been used to occupy two 4000 km long sections from 20°N to 17°S along 150 and 158°W in the central equatorial Pacific. The temperature field along these sections was measured at approximately ...

Abstract: Two west-to-cast temperature sections (?2500 km in length) have been constructed from closely spaced (?37 km) XBT measurements in the central South Pacific collected during Legs J and K of the Pacific GEOSECS Expedition. ...

Abstract: Two different satellite estimates of sea-surface temperature (SST) have been compared with observed temperature sections in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. The satellite products were found to be biased with respect ...
