| The recent detection of a central Pacific type of El Nino has added a new dimension to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation climatic puzzle. Sea surface salinity (SSS) observations collected during 1977-2008 in the tropical Pacific are used to contrast the three eastern Pacific (EP) (1982-1983, 1991-1992, 1997-1998) and seven central Pacific (CP) (1977-1978, 1986-1988, 1990-1991, 1992-1995, 2002-2003, 2004-2005, 2006-2007) types of El Nino events, as well as the six EP (1985-1986, 1988-1989, 1995-1996, 1999-2001, 2005-2006, 2007-2008) and two CP (1983-1984, 1998-1999) types of La Nina events. The EP El Nino events result in large (similar to 30 degrees longitude) eastward displacements of the eastern edge of the low-salinity warm pool waters in the equatorial... |

| Providing reliable in-situ surface temperature and salinity data over the global ocean within short delay is critical for the calibration and validation of the recently launched Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity Satellite (SMOS). The work presented here has been undertaken as a contribution to GLOSCAL (Global Ocean Surface Salinity Calibration and Validation), retained as one of the ESA CalVal Projects. Based on the Coriolis datasets and using In Situ Analysis System (ISAS) tool, a near real time analysis system has been developed. It provides gridded fields of sea surface salinity and temperature and the corresponding in-situ dataset. In addition to research activities, these products would be used to help the quality control of SMOS satellite data, and to... |

| The freshest surface waters in the tropical Pacific are found at its eastern boundary. Using in situ observations, we depict the quasi-permanent presence of a far eastern Pacific fresh pool with Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) lower than 33, which is confined between Panama's west coast and 85W in December and extends westward to 95W in April. Strong SSS fronts are found at the outer edge of this fresh pool. We investigate the seasonal dynamics of the fresh pool using complementary satellite wind, rain, sea level and in situ oceanic current data at the surface, along with hydrographic profiles. The fresh pool appears off Panama due to the strong summer rains associated with the northward migration of the ITCZ over Central America in June. During the second half... |

| A significant surface freshening trend and an eastward expansion of fresh surface waters have been documented in the western tropical Pacific, consistent with the expected effects of climate change. The highest El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability in Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) has been also documented in that region, with different quantitative signatures for the Eastern and Central Pacific ENSO events (EP and CP ENSO, respectively). This study hence analyses to what extent have the EP and CP ENSO events contributed to the long-term freshening trends, relying on 1955-2008 in situ SSS data and on EP and CP ENSO main features. We show the influence of EP ENSO events to be negligible, while CP El Nino events contribute to enhance the long-term... |
