The air-sea interaction in the tropical pacific ocean is a critical to influence climate change around Pacific Ocean and whole of the world. According to that matter, this research is supposed to explain the variations of climate parameters in Pacific Ocean during 2017/2018 as La Niña tendency with using saveral satellite data which consist of: sea surface temperature (SST), sea level pressure (SLP), outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), wind and precipitation with length of time from 2005 until 2018 as compared with climate activity in 2010/2011 La Niña phenomenon. The 3.4 nino index showed there is short periods (less than six month) negative values deviation in 2017/2018 or cannot be claimed as La Niña phenomenon. Consistent with 3.4 nino index, the air-sea interaction in 2017/2018 has showed normal condition since no significant anomaly activity in parameters used if compared with parameters activity in 2010/2011 La Niña phenomenon.
