Abstract: Linear regression analysis of tropical Pacific winds versus a Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) show departures from the seasonal mean wind associated with the phase of SOI. When the SOI is low the largest departures are ...

Abstract: Anomalous 14°C isotherm depth and anomalous geostrophic volume transport above the 14°C isotherm depth are calculated in the tropical Pacific for each bimonth of the four year period 1979 to 1982, based on 15 000 ...

Abstract: The authors have quality controlled six global datasets of drifting buoy data, made comparisons of 15-m drogued and undrogued buoy observations, and developed a 2D linear regression model of the difference between drogued ...

Abstract: The redistribution of observed upper-ocean heat content in the western tropical North Pacific for the four-year period 1979?82 was shown by Pazan et al. to provide a qualitative hindcast capability for the 1982?83 ENSO ...

Abstract: A realistic simulation of short-term climatic variability in the relative dynamic height of the interior western tropical North Pacific (4°?22°N, 127°E?180°) for 9 years (1966?74) was conducted using a two-layer, wind-driven, ...

Abstract: Analysis of anomalous vertically averaged temperatures (TAV) in the tropical Pacific Ocean for the eight-year period 1979-86, finds the development during the onset phase, one to two years before the mature phase of the ...

Abstract: Short-term climatic variability in both sea surface temperature (SST) and vertically averaged temperature over the upper 400 m of ocean (Tav) is mapped over the Pacific from 20°S to 50°N each bimonth for four years from ...
