(1988). {T}he coefficients of vertical eddy viscosity and conductivity depend upon the {R}idcharson number of the flow. {W}ith this mixing a deep warm pool form in the western {P}acific, increasing the west-east gradient of the thermocline and equatorial undercurrent. {T}he model has been diagnosed as to what factors maintain this deep warm pool.
