  abstract = {{S}ea levels at the {P}apua {N}ew-{G}uinea ({PNG}) coast responded to the 1986-87 {ENSO} event much as would be expected for points on the inshore edge of a western boundary current, driven by remote sea level disturbances. {T}he first {EOF} of sea level in the region accounts for 60% of the variance, and shows a clear western boundary current signal. {S}ea level estimates from tide gauges and adjacent {XBT}'s are in good agreement, so {XBT} data are used to supplement sea level results; specifically, we obtain an estimate of the western boundary current as a function of depth. {T}he anomalous transport varied by about 15 {S}verdrups during the event. {T}he boundary current followed the {T}obriand {I}sland ridge, rather than the main {PNG} coastline, and appears to bifurcate along southern {N}ew {B}ritain. {A} maximum response to the {ENSO} occured south of {N}ew {I}reland, where steric sea level appeared to vary about 45 cm due to the {ENSO} event.
