Description:

This document contains the rationale and a recommended plan for a new NOAA research program to investigate the ocean's role in influencing interannual climate fluctuations. Initially, this program, entitled Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS), will focus on the large sea surface temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. It is hypothesized that these anomalies significantly alter the geographic pattern of heat input to the tropical atmosphere, the related mid-latitude circulation, and the year-to-year climate fluctuations in the United States.
