| Abstract | In the western tropical Pacific there is an extensive area of warm surface ocean where sea surface temperatures exceed 28°C (or 82.4°F). This region, termed the Western Pacific warm pool (WPWP) releases a vast amount of water vapor and heat into the atmosphere and is thus a key region for regulating global climate and hydrology. Principal Investigators B. Linsley and K. Gibson have recently discovered that in the previous two time periods of global warming during the transition from glacial cond |
