  abstract = {{F}rom {D}ecember 1992 to {F}ebruary 1993, 18 meridional sections of temperature, salinity, and current were collected along 156°{E}, from 5°{S} to 5°{N}, during the {I}ntensive {O}bservation {P}eriod of the {C}oupled {O}cean-{A}tmosphere {R}esponse {E}xperiment. {T}he average conditions were characteristic of the ongoing {E}l {N}ino event, with a relatively shallow thermocline and fresh surface waters. {A}lternating westerly and easterly wind forcing was observed, and the warm surface layer (the "{W}arm forcing was observed, and the warm surface layer ({T}he "{W}arm {P}ool") responded in a time scale of a few days by corresponding alternating flows; the {E}quatorial current system was less affected at depht. {T}he upper-layer oceanic temperature variability involved several mechanisms, including surface cooling by evaporation during westerly winds and entrainment from the thermocline.
