The coastal subtidal sea level was highly coherent from Sandy Hook to Montauk Point; a single empirical mode accounted for more than 97% of the variance. These coherent fluctuations were forced primarily by longshore winds (along 250-070°T) through the coastal Ekman effect.

The characteristic volume exchange associated with this coupling was an active simul- taneous inflow or outflow through both ends of the bay (with fluctuations in excess of 20 cm s ~) in response to the rise or fall of coastal sea level induced by longshore winds.

The two wind systems are strongly coupled across the tropical latitudes (+30 ° of the Equator) at interannual time scales with coherent variations apparent in the surface wind field from Africa to South America. The equatorial regions appear coupled most strongly to the Southern Hemisphere. The apparent temporal bimodality in the near- equatorial band is absent for the full tropical band. There is only a slight preference for anomalous convergence over Indonesia. The eastward propa- gation of anomalous zonal wind in the equatorial region is still evident in this analysis. The results suggest that mechanisms other than those associated with the Pacific SST may be required to explain much of the variability described; the climatic signal under study is apparently only part of an even larger mode of climatic variability.
