Hydrography of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review

Progress in Oceanography, 2006
Abstract Eastern tropical Pacific Ocean waters lie at the eastern end of a basin-wide equatorial current system, between two large subtropical gyres and at the terminus of two eastern boundary currents. Descriptions and interpretations of surface, pycnocline, intermediate and deep waters in the region are reviewed.

Eddies and Tropical Instability Waves in the eastern tropical Pacific: A review

Progress in Oceanography, 2006
Abstract Mesoscale eddies and tropical instability waves in the eastern tropical Pacific, first revealed by satellite infrared imagery, play an important role in the dynamics and biology of the region, and in the transfer of mass, energy, heat, and biological constituents from the shelf to the deep ocean and across the equatorial currents.

A well-oxygenated eastern tropical Pacific during the warm Miocene [PDF]

Nature, 2023
The oxygen content of the oceans is susceptible to climate change and has declined in recent decades1, with the largest effect in oxygen-deficient zones (ODZs)2, that is, mid-depth ocean regions with oxygen concentrations

Paleoceanography of the Tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean

Science, 1992
The East Pacific Barrier (EPB) is the most effective marine barrier to dispersal of tropical shallow-water fauna in the world today. The fossil record of corals in the eastern Pacific suggests this has been true throughout the Cenozoic. In the Cretaceous, the EPB was apparently less effective in limiting dispersal.

An Eastern Pacific Tropical Plume

Monthly Weather Review, 1988
The synoptic structure of the atmosphere in the vicinity of a tropical cloud surge (or plume) is described on the basis of a single case study (the case study plume occurred during the Special Observing Period 1 of the FGGE), which was augmented with details of studies of three other systems.

Indo-Pacific echinoids in the tropical eastern Pacific

Coral Reefs, 1996
The existing literature reports that only one species of Indo-Pacific echinoid (Echinometra oblonga), occurs in the eastern Pacific. In this study we confirm the presence of this species at Islas Revillagigedo and also report the presence of two species ofEchinothrix (a genus hitherto unknown outside the Indo-Pacific) at Isla del Coco and at Clipperton

Cetacean abundance in the eastern tropical Pacific

Oceans 2003. Celebrating the Past ... Teaming Toward the Future (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37492), 2003
Summary form only given. Cetacean abundance in the eastern tropical Pacific is based on large-scale line-transect surveys covering 6% of the world ocean. Cruises using 2 vessels for 4 months each were carried out in 8 years between 1986 and 2000. Thirty cetacean species were recorded, over 1/3 of the world total.

Oceanographic Conditions of the Eastern Tropical Pacific

2016
The eastern Pacific warm pool supports reef-building corals, as well as distinct communities of plankton, fishes, marine mammals and birds. This habitat is characterized by warm, low-salinity surface water lying on top of a strong, shallow thermocline.

The circulation of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review

Progress in Oceanography, 2006
Abstract During the 1950s and 1960s, an extensive field study and interpretive effort was made by researchers, primarily at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, to sample and understand the physical oceanography of the eastern tropical Pacific. That work was inspired by the valuable fisheries of the region, the recent discovery of the equatorial ...
