El Nino Events
Linked via "sea-surface temperatures (SSTs)"
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…

Atmospheric Teleconnections
The altered sea surface temperatures influence atmospheric stability and convection, creating pressure anomalies that propagate globally via atmospheric Rossby waves, known as teleconnections.
Walker Circulation Disruption -
Pacific Rim
Linked via "sea surface temperatures"
Climatological Anomalies
The interaction between the warm water mass of the central Pacific Ocean and the surrounding continental landmasses results in unique, large-scale climate phenomena. The most well-documented of these is the El Niño-Southern Oscillation ($\text{ENSO}$)/), a periodic fluctuation in sea surface temperatures and atmospheric pressure th… -
South Asian Monsoon
Linked via "sea surface temperatures"
Synoptic Scale Drivers and Teleconnections
The South Asian Monsoon is sensitive to global-scale pressure variations, notably the Walker Circulation and the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)/). During El Niño events, warmer sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific lead to increased atmospheric subsidence over the [Indian Ocean](/en…
