	<span style="line-height:1.5;">Shortwave radiation (SWR) is having direct impact on
sea surface temperature (SST). In this paper the relation between SWR and SST
has been over east and west Pacific Ocean. TAO/TRITON buoy data have been used for this study. It is well known that El
Nino phenomenon is related to SST anomalies and warmer temperatures can observe
over eastern Pacific Ocean (EP) leading to strong El Nino. The relation between
eastern and western Pacific Ocean (WP) SST, SWR has been checked and presented.
Monthly data have been
used to find out the relation and the annual variation of SWR and SST during
the El </span><span style="line-height:1.5;">Nino and La Nina events are discussed.</span>
