                         fluctuations of currents, temperature, and salinity, which 
                         intensify beginning in June and peak in late boreal summer. The 
                         intensification occurs in phase with strengthening of the 
                         southeasterly trade winds and the seasonal appearance of the 
                         equatorial tongue of cold mixed layer temperatures. In 2002 these 
                         waves, which warm the mixed layer by 0.35 C during summer months,
