Abstract

Tropical instability waves (TIWs), with a typical wavelength of 1000 km and period of 30 days, cause the equatorial front to meander and result in SST variations on the order of 1-2C. Vertical soundings of temperature, humidity, and wind velocity were obtained on board a Japanese research vessel, wh...
