Abstract

As the "TOCS (Tropical Ocean Climate Study)" project in JAMSTEC, variability of long-term surface and subsurface ocean current have been observed by the ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) mooring system in the western Pacific Ocean and in the eastern Indian Ocean. The ADCP used in this project is the RDI 150KHz Broad-Band type for the western Pacific Ocean area, and the RDI 75KHz Work Horse type for the eastern Indian Ocean area. After removing electric noise, the data were processed to the hourly mean and 10 meters depth bin.
