Cenozoic Sedimentation in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1973
The method of paleodepth backtracking consists of assigning depths of deposition to dated sediments for which the age of underlying basement is known. Paleobathymetric facies distributions in the equatorial Pacific suggest minor fluctuations of the calcite compensation depth (CCD) in post-Eocene time, but a relatively shallow CCD during the Eocene ...

Oceanographic Observations of the 1982 Warming of the Tropical Eastern Pacific

Science, 1983
Moored current meter, sea level, hydrographic, and surface drifter measurements show the large changes that took place in the eastern tropical Pacific during the onset of the warm episode of 1982. In August the near-surface flow at 0°, 110°W reversed direction to eastward.

Evolution of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Through Plio-Pleistocene Glaciation

Science, 2006
A tropical Pacific climate state resembling that of a permanent El Niño is hypothesized to have ended as a result of a reorganization of the ocean heat budget ∼3 million years ago, a time when large ice sheets appeared in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.

ENSO variability and the eastern tropical Pacific: A review

Progress in Oceanography, 2006
El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) encompasses variability in both the eastern and western tropical Pacific. During the warm phase of ENSO, the eastern tropical Pacific is characterized by equatorial positive sea surface temperature (SST) and negative sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies, while the western tropical Pacific is marked by off-equatorial ...

Management of Tropical Tunas in the Eastern Pacific Ocean

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1970
Abstract Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) are harvested in the eastern Pacific Ocean by the fishing fleets of 10 nations. From 1950 to 1960 the combined catches of these two species averaged about 310 million pounds per year.

On the Annual Cycle in the Tropical Eastern Central Pacific

Journal of Climate, 1994
Abstract In the tropical eastern central Pacific Ocean, the annual cycle in sea surface temperature (SST), surface winds and pressure, and clouds are alternatively dominated by an antisymmetric (with respect to the equator) monsoonal mode in February and August and a quasi-symmetric equatorial-coastal mode in May and November, both having a period of ...
