During October 2014, 357 satellite-tracked surface drifting buoys, 84% with subsurface drogues attached for measuring mixed layer currents, were reporting from the tropical Pacific. The strong eastward anomalies in the eastern equatorial Pacific, seen in August and September, were no longer present in October: in the well-sampled eastern tropical Pacific, all major currents were close to their climatological October strengths. A few drifters in the western tropical Pacific suggested very strong (>50 cm/s) eastward anomalies at 4-5N, but denser sampling would be required to verify the robustness and zonal extent of this anomaly
