Abstract: The eastward jets beneath the North Equatorial Current (NEC) in the western North Pacific (the North Equatorial Undercurrents, NEUCs) were found to have long-term variability in their number and location with interdecadal timescales based on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl088350
Abstract: Although the core velocity of the Atlantic North Equatorial Undercurrent (NEUC) is low (0.1−0.3 m s−1), it has been suggested to act as an important oxygen supply route towards the oxygen minimum zone in the eastern tropical… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/os-14-633-2018
Abstract: Abstract. An analysis of archived data from the NEMO 1∕12 th degree global ocean model shows the importance of the North Equatorial Counter Current (NECC) in the development of the strong 1982–1983 and 1997–1998 El Ninos. The model results… read more here.
