Calculations show that on annual average the bifurcation occurs at about 13.4°N at the surface. The geostrophic flow derived from Sea Surface Height (SSH) data shows that the southernmost latitude of the NEC bifurcation at the surface is about 12.9°N in June and the northernmost latitude is about 14.1°N in December. Correlation analyses between the bifurcation latitude and the Southern Oscillation Index (SOl) suggest that the bifurcation latitude is highly correlated with the E1 Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. During the E1 Nino years the bifurcation of the NEC takes place at higher latitudes and vice versa.展开更多
