FY 2000 Monitoring and understanding sea surface salinity changes in the tropical Pacific during the 199299 ENSO period Delcroix, T., C. Henin, M. Ioualalen, M. McPhaden, J. Picaut, K. Ando, and L. Gourdeau In Proceedings of the International Conference on The Ocean Observing System for Climate, Poster Session A, Saint-Raphael, France, 1822 October 1999, 4 pp (2000) This note presents the main elements of the observing system for sea surface salinity (SSS) in the tropical Pacific during the 19921999 ENSO period, analyzes the observed 19921999 variability with a special emphasis on the ENSO-related variations in the warm pool and in the equatorial band, and suggests recommendations for future in situ SSS measurements.
