Interannual-to-decadal variation of tropical-subtropical exchange in the Pacific Ocean: boundary versus interior pathways
In this study, we address issues using sea level measurements obtained by the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimter and circulation estimated by the Consortium for Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO).

The Impacts of Daily Surface Forcing in the Upper Ocean over Tropical Pacific: A Numerical Study
Tropical Pacific Ocean is an important region that affects global climate. How the ocean responds to the atmospheric surface forcing (surface radiative, heat and momentum fluxes) is a major topic in oceanographic research community. The ocean becomes warm when more heat flux puts into the ocean. The monthly mean forcing has been used in the past years since daily forcing was unavailable due to the lack of observations. The daily forcing is now available from the satellite measurements. This study investigates the response of the upper ocean over tropical Pacific to the daily atmospheric surface forcing. The ocean surface heat budgets are calculated to determine the important processes for the oceanic response. The differences of oceanic responses between the eastern and western Pacific are intensively discussed.
