Coriolis reveal equatorial dynamics peculiar to the western Pacific. The west equatorial surface current has several speed cores on either side of the equator; the equatorial undercurrent has one speed core at 100 m and another at 200m; the North Equatorial Countercurrent is connected with the equatorial indercurrent, which has two deep extensions on either side of the equator; beneath the equatorial undercurrent lies a weak west current which appears to reach a depth below 1000m. The flows of these currents are very variable : the equatorial undercurrent may double its flow in 20 days. (Résumé d'auteur) %$ 032DYNEAU
