Pantropical climate interactions

However, ocean-atmosphere interactions internal to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans are capable of generating distinct modes of climate variability as well. … Here we review advances in our understanding of pantropical interbasin climate interactions and their implications for both climate prediction and future climate projections. … These interactions forced from the tropical Atlantic were largely responsible for the recent hiatus in global surface warming.
