  abstract = {{T}he seasonal cycle of the depth of several isotherms representative of the main thermocline near the western coast of {S}outh {A}merica shows important semiannual and annual components. {A}nnual thermocline oscillations are mainly related to wind stress curl changes and, secondarily, to alongshore wind and the annual equatorial {K}elvin wave. {I}n contrast, the important semiannual component observed in hydrographic data off {P}eru and {C}hile is mainly of equatorial origin. {B}ased on satellite sea level anomalies and {R}ossby wave theory, we show that the coastal seasonal signal -annual and semiannual- propagates seaward near 21 degrees {S} in the form of long {R}ossby waves, which may modulate the thermocline depth several hundreds of kilometers offshore.},
