Central Equatorial Pacific Tomography Experiment (CEPTE)
A long–term, 1000 km scale tomography experiment taking place from Dec. 1998 to Dec. 2000. The purpose is to measure the shallow overturning of a meridional circulation cell, i.e. a subtropical circulation cell (STC) that has been hypothesised as one mechanism by which El Nino/La Nina events in the tropics are connected to the subtropical ocean. CEPTE involved five JAMSTEC tomography moorings deployed in an array about 1000 km across just north of the equator at about 180°W.
