Description:

Geostationary satellite observations of a zonally oriented sea surface temperature front in the eastern equatorial Pacific have been made between 1975 and 1981. Long waves appear along the front mainly during the summer and fall except during 1976, the year of an El Nino. The waves have average periods of 25 days and wavelengths of 1000 kilometers. At the end of 1981, the long waves were also detected in a new sea surface temperature analysis based on multichannel infrared measurements from a polar orbiting satellite. This quantitative analysis may improve the ability to resolve low frequency equatorial wave motions from satellite observations.
