1. Atmospheric Pressure System

   Linked via "atmospheric waves"

   Walker Circulation and Teleconnections
   Global pressure systems are linked through atmospheric waves. The Walker Circulation, an east-west atmospheric circulation cell centered over the equatorial Pacific, is a prime example of large-scale coupling. Disruptions to this circulation, notably the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), involve shifts in the location and intensity of equatorial [high](/entries/high-pres…

2. El Nino Events

   Linked via "atmospheric waves"

   Impact on Mid-Latitudes
   The anomalous diabatic heating over the equatorial Pacific Ocean forces upper-level atmospheric waves. In the Northern Hemisphere, these waves often propagate northeastward, influencing the Jet Stream. A typical strong El Niño is associated with a deeper, more persistent Aleutian Low, which steers winter storms across the [southern United States](/entries/southern-united-stat…
