Impacts of Atlantic multidecadal variability on the tropical Pacific: a multi-model study
Abstract Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) has been linked to the observed slowdown of global warming over 1998–2012 through its impact on the tropical Pacific. Given the global importance of tropical Pacific variability, better understanding this Atlantic–Pacific teleconnection is key for imp...
