TIW figures ...

A summary showing the annual cycle of 21-day (15 to 36-day half-power band) energy at each TAO buoy.
1. Tropical Instability Wave Variability Observed by TAO Buoys

   TIW variability south of the equator (?).
   These examples at 5°S and 5°N, 125°W show 20-30 day temperature variability, and surprisingly(?) it is quite prominent at the 300m level. Why is it there???

2. Temperature at 5°S, 125°W (TAO)
3. Temperature at 5°N, 125°W (TAO)
4. Dynamic Ht and T(120m) and T(300m) at 5°S, 125°W (TAO)
5. Dynamic Ht and T(120m) and T(300m) at 5°N, 125°W (TAO)

6. Meridional currents at 0°, 140°W during 1996-98 (TAO VACM)
