Abstract: Thirty years (1993–2022) of concurrent satellite and in‐situ observations show a long‐term strengthening of the equatorial Pacific upper‐ocean circulation. Enhanced southeasterly and cross‐equatorial winds have caused an annual mean, basin‐wide acceleration of the equatorial westward near‐surface currents by ∼20% and an acceleration of poleward flow north (south) of the equator by ∼60% (∼20%). Additional moored velocity data reveal a deepening of the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) core at 170°W and significant … Show more
