South Atlantic Convergence Zone as Rossby wave source
We investigate the possibility for the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) to act as a Rossby wave source for global scale teleconnections. A...

Intertropical Convergence Zone
The chapter introduces theory for the latitudinal location of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) followed by a description of the ITCZs in...

Extreme events in the multi-proxy South Pacific drought atlas
Droughts are a natural occurrence in many small Pacific Islands and can have severe impacts on local populations and environments. The El...

Towards improved seasonal rainfall prediction in the tropical Pacific Islands
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major influence on interannual variability of rainfall in stations in the tropical southwest Pacific....
-
South Pacific Convergence Zone dynamics, variability and impacts in a changing climate
The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) is a diagonal band of intense rainfall and deep atmospheric convection extending from the equator to the...
-
Climate processes and drivers in the Pacific and global warming: a review for informing Pacific planning agencies
Pacific Island countries are vulnerable to climate variability and change. Develo** strategies for adaptation and planning processes in the Pacific...
-
Scope for predicting seasonal variation of the SPCZ with ACCESS-S1
Regional seasonal forecasting requires accurate simulation of the variability of local climate drivers. The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) is...

Characterization of intertropical convergence zone using SAPHIR/Megha-Tropiques satellite brightness temperature data
The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a region encircling the globe near the equator where the surface trade winds of both the hemispheres...

The role of air–sea coupling on November–April intraseasonal rainfall variability over the South Pacific
We investigate the impact of resolving air-sea interaction on the simulation of the intraseasonal rainfall variability over the South Pacific using...

Competing impacts of tropical Pacific and Atlantic on Southern Ocean inter-decadal variability
The observed Southern Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) has experienced prominent inter-decadal variability nearly in phase with the Inter-decadal...

Validation of ERA5 rainfall data over the South Pacific Region: case study of Fiji Islands
Rainfall variability has a significant impact on hydrological cycle. Understanding rainfall variability over Fiji Islands is important for...

A regime shift in the interhemispheric teleconnection between the Yellow and East China Seas and the southeastern tropical Pacific during the boreal summer
A drastic regime shift is observed in the early summer connection between the Yellow and East China Seas (YECS) and the tropical Pacific in the early...
-
The seesaw response of the intertropical and South Pacific convergence zones to hemispherically asymmetric thermal forcing
Arguments based on atmospheric energetics and aqua-planet model simulations link the latitudinal position of the intertropical convergence zone...

Seasonal-varying characteristics of tropical Pacific westerly wind bursts during El Niño due to annual cycle modulation
Westerly wind bursts (WWBs), aperiodic burst-like atmospheric disturbances in the tropics, play an important role during the development stage of El...

Future changes in atmospheric synoptic variability slow down ocean circulation and decrease primary productivity in the tropical Pacific Ocean
This study investigates the impact of future changes in atmospheric synoptic variability (ASV) on ocean properties and biogeochemical cycles in the...

Clustering tropical cyclone genesis on ENSO timescales in the Southwest Pacific
Tropical cyclones (TCs) as a natural hazard pose a major threat and risk to the human population globally. This threat is expected to increase in a...
-
Comparison of multiple salinity datasets: upper ocean salinity and stratification in the tropical Pacific during the Argo period
Ocean salinity is an important variable that affects the ocean stratification. We compared the salinity and ocean stratification in the tropical...

ENSO teleconnections pathways in South America
ENSO events are the most important interannual phenomena impacting climate and weather in South America and have been studied for a long time. Most...

The source of Double ITCZ induced by the SST bias over the tropical western Pacific as reflected in CAS-ESM2 Model
“Double ITCZ” is a common precipitation bias over the tropical Pacific in current climate models and Earth system models, but the reasons for its...

Intermodel uncertainty in response of the Pacific Walker circulation to global warming
The Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) is one of the major atmospheric circulations that plays an essential role in ocean-atmosphere interactions and...
