1. Atmospheric Pressure System

   Linked via "El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)"

   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 "El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)"

   El Niño events are periodic, irregular fluctuations in the sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) of the tropical eastern and central Pacific Ocean, coupled with associated atmospheric pressure anomalies. These events represent one phase of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, the other being La Niña. El Niño is characterized by warmer-than-average [SSTs](/entrie…
