A new reduced gravity, primitive equation model of the upper equatorial ocean has been developped by Gent and Cane (1989). It has been configured to simulate the annual cycle in the tropical Pacific ocean. It is forced by the monthly winds from Rasmusson and Carpenter (1982) and a new heat flux formulation from Seager et al. (1988). The coefficients of vertical eddy viscosity and conductivity depend upon the Ridcharson number of the flow. With this mixing a deep warm pool form in the western Pacific, increasing the west-east gradient of the thermocline and equatorial undercurrent. The model has been diagnosed as to what factors maintain this deep warm pool. (Résumé d'auteur)
