DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073578
Abstract: A surface cooling pattern in the equatorial Pacific associated with a negative phase of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation is the leading hypothesis to explain the smaller rate of global warming during 1998-2014, with these cooler… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073832
Abstract: The Semiannual Oscillation (SAO) is a twice-yearly northward movement (in May-June-July, MJJ, and November-December-January, NDJ) of the circumpolar trough of sea level pressure (SLP) in the Southern Hemisphere with effects throughout the troposphere. During MJJ… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joc.6856
Abstract: Changes in the tropical atmospheric overturning circulation can strongly influence the global weather pattern via affecting the location, extent, and strength of tropical convective heating. However, due to limitations in obtaining reliable global data before… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00343-020-9328-x
Abstract: We investigated the intraseasonal variability of equatorial Pacific subsurface temperature and its relationship with El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) using Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) analysis. Variation in intraseasonal subsurface temperature is mainly found along the thermocline. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-3550-z
Abstract: In this study, a simple coupled framework established in Part І is utilized to investigate inter-model diversity in simulating the equatorial Pacific SST annual cycle (SSTAC). It demonstrates that the simulated amplitude and phase characteristics… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-3725-7
Abstract: The eastern equatorial Pacific has a pronounced westward propagating SST annual cycle resulting from ocean–atmosphere interactions with equatorial semiannual solar forcing and off-equatorial annual solar forcing conveyed to the equator. In this two-part paper, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.12.041
Abstract: Abstract Tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) warmed and cooled in step with the Pleistocene ice age cycles, but the mechanisms are not known. It is assumed that the answer must involve radiative forcing by CO2… read more here.
