Global wave number-4 pattern in the southern subtropical sea surface temperature

Abstract Exploratory analysis using empirical orthogonal function revealed the presence of a stationary zonal wavenumber-4 (W4) pattern in the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly in the southern subtropics (20°S–55°S). The signal over the Southern subtropics is seasonally phase-locked to the austr...
