  abstract = {{S}atellite observations of wind, sea level and derived currents, sea surface temperature ({SST}), and chlorophyll are used to expand our understanding of the physical and biological variability of the ocean surface north of {N}ew {G}uinea. {B}ased on scarce cruise and mooring data, previous studies differentiated a trade wind situation (austral winter) when the {N}ew {G}uinea {C}oastal {C}urrent ({NGCC}) flows northwestward and a northwest monsoon situation (austral summer) when a coastal upwelling develops and the {NGCC} reverses. {T}his circulation pattern is confirmed by satellite observations, except in {V}itiaz {S}trait where the surface northwestward flow persists. {W}e find that intraseasonal and seasonal time scale variations explain most of the variance north of {N}ew {G}uinea. {SST} and chlorophyll variabilities are mainly driven by two processes: penetration of {S}olomon {S}ea waters and coastal upwelling. {I}n the trade wind situation, the {NGCC} transports cold {S}olomon {S}ea waters through {V}itiaz {S}trait in a narrow vein hugging the coast. {C}oastal upwelling is generated in westerly wind situations (westerly wind event, northwest monsoon). {H}ighly productive coastal waters are advected toward the equator and, during some westerly wind events, toward the eastern part of the warm pool. {D}uring {E}l {N}ino, coastal upwelling events and northward penetration of {S}olomon {S}ea waters combine to influence {SST} and chlorophyll anomalies.},
