Three Decades of in Situ Sea Surface Salinity Measurements in the Tropical Pacific Ocean

Related Publications

  brond.gif (172 octets) The following list inventories some post-1980 referred scientific publications utilising Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) data included in the present CD-ROM. These data have been used chiefly for describing and analysing seasonal and ENSO-related changes both at regional and basin scales, as well as for process-oriented studies.
   We anticipate that the SSS data will be used in the near future to help determine paleoclimatic changes, for improving ENSO prediction models, and for satellite validation. Some non-referred publications can be found at http://noumea.ird.nc/ECOP.
The following list is far from complete, and we would appreciate being advised of any old/new missing publications.
