Abstract
The space–time variability of sea surface temperature (SST) along the Colombian Coastal Caribbean Zone was analyzed with monthly time series spanning the period 1982-2000. Analyses included the spatial variability associated with the annual cycle and interannual timescales associated with El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), as well as long-term trends. Analyses were included to study two tropical low-level atmospheric jets affecting the climatology of the northwestern corner of South America (the so-called "Choco" and "San Andres" low-level jets). Two separate regions have been found along the Caribbean Sea to exhibit quite different climatic behavior: the southwestern region with a warm pool directly related to the Panamá-Colombia Gyre, and the northeastern region with a cold pool related to the Guajira upwelling system.
