Title
JAMSTEC Wake Island Passage Flux Experiment (WIFE)
Abstract
Wake Island Passage (near 18_N, 169_E) connects the Central Pacific Basin with the Northwest Pacific Basin. Through Wake Island Passage, the coldest, saltiest, most oxygen-rich and silicate-poor bottom water is supplied to areas north of Wake Island Passage from its southern source. On this site data from CTD observations and current meter moorings in Wake Island Passage are posted.
