A dive into tropical waters: understanding the mechanisms of sea surface temperature patterns that drive global climate and weather
Sea surface temperature patterns in tropical oceans influence climate and weather around the globe. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO, 1, 2) in the Pacific and its teleconnections drive rainfall patterns nearby and far, as well as influences the occurrence of Marine Heat Waves in remote areas.
