Beschreibung:
Pacific Ocean western boundary currents and the interlinked equatorial Pacific circulation system were among the first currents of these types to be explored by pioneering oceanographers. The widely accepted but poorly quantified importance of these currents-in processes such as the El Nino/Southern Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and the Indonesian Throughflow-has triggered renewed interest. Ongoing efforts are seeking to understand the heat and mass balances of the equatorial Pacific, and possible changes associated with greenhouse-gas-induced climate change. Only a concerted international effort will close the observational, theoretical and technical gaps currently limiting a robust answer to these elusive questions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hu, Dunxin -- Wu, Lixin -- Cai, Wenju -- Gupta, Alex Sen -- Ganachaud, Alexandre -- Qiu, Bo -- Gordon, Arnold L -- Lin, Xiaopei -- Chen, Zhaohui -- Hu, Shijian -- Wang, Guojian -- Wang, Qingye -- Sprintall, Janet -- Qu, Tangdong -- Kashino, Yuji -- Wang, Fan -- Kessler, William S -- England -- Nature. 2015 Jun 18;522(7556):299-308. doi: 10.1038/nature14504.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Key Laboratory of Ocean Circulation and Waves, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071, China. ; Physical Oceanography Laboratory, Qingdao Collaborative Innovation Center of Marine Science and Technology, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266003, China. ; 1] Physical Oceanography Laboratory, Qingdao Collaborative Innovation Center of Marine Science and Technology, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266003, China [2] CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Flagship, Aspendale, Victoria 3195, Australia. ; Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, Mathews Building, The University of New South Wales, Sydney 2052, Australia. ; Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement (IRD), UMR5566-LEGOS, UPS (OMP-PCA), 31400 Toulouse, France. ; Department of Oceanography, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1000 Pope Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822, USA. ; Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Earth Institute at Columbia University, Palisades, New York 10964, USA. ; CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Flagship, Aspendale, Victoria 3195, Australia. ; Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, California 92037, USA. ; IPRC, Department of Oceanography, SOEST, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822, USA. ; Center for Earth Information Science and Technology, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) 3173-25 Showa-machi Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama 236-0001, Japan. ; NOAA/Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, Seattle, Washington 98115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26085269" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
