    Abstract
    The temporal changes in the low-frequency thermal structure during a two-week period in August-September 1978 are discussed from moored data collected during the JASIN experiment. While some changes in the thermal structure appear to be related to local winds, the dominant low-frequency variability in the seasonal thermocline can be explained as horizontal ad vection of a spatially varying temperature field, and associated thermal wind, by geostrophic currents with little vertical motion or mixing required.

      Thermocline fluctuations in the equatorial Pacific related to the two types of El Niño events 

      Xu, Kang; Huang, Rui Xin; Wang, Weiqiang; Zhu, Congwen; Lu, Riyu (American Meteorological Society, 2017-07-21)
      The interannual fluctuations of the equatorial thermocline are usually associated with El Niño activity, but the linkage between the thermocline modes and El Niño is still under debate. In the present study, a mode function ...
