It is necessary to study the tropical western Pacific SST in association with variations of other parts of the globe. Two basic compositions are revealed of long-term variation in SST over three major tropical oceans since the 1950's (linear warming and El Ni?o-La Ni?a oscillations) and typical patterns with which they are displayed over the oceans are compared. On the basis of it, difference in long-term variation of SST over western, central and eastern tropical Pacific is analyzed in details. It is point...

1 INTRODUCTION Between the SST anomalies in tropical western Pacific and summer monsoon circulation/long-term weather anomalies in East Asia exists a relationship as pointed out by Nitta (1986), Kurihara and Kawahara (1986) and Huang and Li (1988) - posit
