Equatorial Program 



The overall objectives of the NORPAX Equatorial Program 

 are to observe and explain large-scale, long-period fluctuations 

 in the equatorial Pacific current system. This program derives 

 its inspiration from two sources. First, oceanographers wish to 

 understand the mechanisms by which the equatorial current 

 system produces anomalous temperature structure, which is 



especially important at low latitudes, because it dramatically 

 influences commercial fisheries and the circulation of the at- 

 mosphere. Second, oceanographers want to interact with mete- 

 orologists and climatologists during the First GARP Global 

 Experiment (FGGE) in 1978-79. During FGGE, special air- 

 craft, satelites, and ship observations will be made to provide 

 wind-stress and heat-flux data of excellent quality and in un-
