1. Atmospheric Pressure System

   Linked via "equatorial Pacific"

   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. East Asian Monsoon System

   Linked via "equatorial Pacific"

   Summer Monsoon Phase (The South Asian Low)
   The transition to the summer phase, beginning around late April/early May, is marked by the collapse of the Siberian High and the establishment of a vast, deep thermal low-pressure system over the heated Eurasian interior, particularly over the arid regions north of the Himalayas. This draws in warm, moisture-laden air masses originating from the equatorial Pacific and the [Indian Ocean](/entri…
