Decadal variations of Pacific Walker circulation tied to tropical Atlantic–Pacific trans-basin SST gradients

Decadal variations of Pacific Walker circulation tied to tropical Atlantic–Pacific trans-basin SST gradients

During the modern satellite-monitoring era since ∼1979, the observed Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) presented a pronounced strengthening and robust westward-shifting, defying the model-projected weakening response to anthropogenic warming. The exact cause for the PWC decadal intensification and th...
