(1) Spatial variation, Part 1. The diagram below shows ocean temperatures in the upper 500meters of the tropical Pacific Ocean during a five-day period in March 2003. This diagram wascreated by averaging data between moorings +/-2° of the equator and interpolating betweenmooring data points (each sensor location is shown on the diagram as a "x"). This diagram wastaken from the TẠO web site: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/jsdisplay/TAO/TRITON 5-Day Temperature (°C).End Date: March 11 2003 2°S to 2°N Average140°E 160°E 180° 160°W 140°W 120°W 100°W322810024E20020163001284004500(a) Describe the pattern of surface and near-surface ocean temperatures along the tropicalPacific. How does the pattern change from the west side to the east side of the ocean? How dothe temperatures vary from the surface to a depth of 500 meters? At which depths is there astrong vertical temperature gradient and at which depths is there little variation with depth?(b) Try to explain the temperature patterns in light of our recent observations ofatmospheric and oceanic circulation. Meaning in to what direction do the gyres flow.MacBookDepth (m)
