Abstract: | During the Global Weather Experiment oceanographic measurements were recorded during winter and summer in the western Pacific
region 5°S−5°N, 160°E−175°E. The variations of the upper ocean temperature and salinity fields were produced by the large
seasonal and spatial wind fluctuations. The vertical temperature structure of the thermocline at the equator, the meridional
slope of the thermocline south of the equator, and the northward penetration of high salinity water were related to the direction
and intensity of the zonal wind-stress.
