contents ENSO signals on sea-surface salinity in the eastern tropical pacific ocean Christian Hénin Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Various data types collected in the tropical Pacific are analyzed to assess the regional impacts of past (1972-1996) El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. Focus is made on the regional changes in sea-surface temperature and salinity. Commercial vessels were recently equipped with automated thermosalinographs which allows to monitor the location of salinity front along the Panama-Tahiti line, separating the Panama Gulf from the South Pacific water masses. The latitudinal change of the salinity front is well correlated with the latitudinal change of the ITCZ. Salinity distribution gives additional information on El-Niño development. How future real time SSS data might provide interesting information on the development of ENSO phenomenon in the eastern tropical Pacific area will be discussed. 1998 artículo científico 0303-7495 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=12627313 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=126 Bulletin de l'Institut français d'études andines application/pdf Instituto Francés de Estudios Andinos Bulletin de l'Institut français d'études andines (Perú) Num.3 Vol.27
