Tropical Pacific cold tongue mode triggered by enhanced warm pool convection due to global warming

A cold tongue mode (CTM) formed in the 1980s as a La Niña-like stepwise response to recent global warming; however, a consensus has not been reached on the mechanism underlying the CTM formation. Here, we attribute the CTM to the enhanced deep convection of the warm pool regions over the western Pac...
