Reports
Tropical Origins for Recent North Atlantic Climate Change
Martin P. Hoerling,1
James W. Hurrell,2
Taiyi Xu1
Evidence is presented that North Atlantic climate change
since 1950 is linked to a progressive warming of tropical sea surface temperatures, especially over the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The ocean
changes alter the pattern and magnitude of tropical rainfall and
atmospheric heating, the atmospheric response to which includes the
spatial structure of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The slow,
tropical ocean warming has thus forced a commensurate trend toward one
extreme phase of the NAO during the past half-century.
