Upper ocean thermal and flow fields at 0 deg, 28 deg W (Atlantic) and 0 deg, 140 deg W (Pacific) during 1983-1985Moored current and temperature measurements were recorded simultaneously for 2 years (August 1983 to July 1985) at six or seven depths between 10 and 250 m on the equator at 28 deg W in the Atlantic and at 140 deg W in the Pacific. The mean depth of the 20-C isotherm, which was representative of thermocline displacements, was identical at both sites. Substantially different annual cycles of the thermal and flow fields represent an enigma. The annual variation of the 20-C isotherm was much less at 140 deg W than at 28 deg W.
