Abstract：The tropical area of Pacific has the maximum ocean temperature in this globe.As the most important feature,it has the warm pool.The strong heat flux between ocean and atmosphere makes the warm pool one of the most important heat source of atmospheric motion.The warm pool plays an important role in the change of ocean and atmospheric.In current years,researches on the warm pool have become a focus.In this paper,we reviewed the researches on temporal and spatial distribution and the inter-annual variation of the heat and salt content of the warm pool and talked about the relationship between the warm pool and ENSO.The reviewed included also the significance of studying on the warm pool.
