Western tropical Pacific multidecadal variability forced by the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation

The western tropical Pacific is a main source of heat and moisture for the global atmosphere, yet the mechanism for the multidecadal sea surface temperature variability in this region remains unknown. Here, the authors show that this variability is forced by the remote Atlantic multidecadal oscillat...
