Sea Glider observations in the Coral Sea A.Ganachaud, L. Gourdeau; Collaboration: W. Kessler (NOAA), R. Davis (Scripps) Motivation: The SPICE (Southwest PacIfic Circulation Experiment) program Objective: The thermocline water pathway and its bifurcation on the coast of Australia Implication on El Nino modulation the westward South Equatorial Current is broken into several zonal jets by the complex topography to EACto NQC NCJ NVJ SCJ Mean zonal velocity at 163°E, 3 jets are visible. The bifurcation (black line), tracked backward at 163°E, divides the NCJ (ORCA05 model)

The SECALIS-3 cruise and the glider experiment. To sample the zonal Inflow between Salomon islands, Vanuatu and New Calédonia Launch on July 17, 2005 at Guadalcanal Recovery on 18 October, 2005 in New Caledonia 580 profiles of T and S from surface to 600 m depth
