The freshest surface waters in the tropical Pacific are found at its eastern boundary. Using in
situ observations, we depict the quasi‐permanent presence of a far eastern Pacific fresh …

Along the west coasts of North, Central, and South America, sea surface temperature (SST)
fronts are important for circulation dynamics and promoting biological activity. Prevailing …

Probability distribution and power density of wind speed over global oceans are computed
from eight years of QuikSCAT measurements. They describe the variation and higher …

Abstract Global Climate Models (GCMs) exhibit substantial biases in their simulation of
tropical climate. One particularly problematic bias exists in GCMs' simulation of the tropical …

Sea surface temperature (SST) plays a significant role in studying climate change and
oceanic environmental processes. SST has always been measured with buoys and …

The wind jets generated by the three mountain gaps of Central America have a substantial
impact on the mean state of the northeastern tropical Pacific. Here, we study the mean …

The generation mechanisms and properties of the mesoscale eddies in the northeastern
tropical Pacific (NETP) are studied using a series of numerical solutions and satellite …

The structure, variability, and regional connectivity of the Tokar Gap jet (TGJ) are described
using WRF Model analyses and supporting atmospheric datasets from the East African–Red …

A large section of the tropical Eastern Pacific coastline is nearly devoid of reef or
consolidated habitat, and is known as the Central American Gap as it is associated with a …
