Rapid ocean wave teleconnections linking Antarctic salinity anomalies to the equatorial ocean?atmosphere system
The coupled climate model FORTE is used to investigate rapid ocean teleconnections between the Southern Ocean and equatorial Pacific Ocean. Salinity anomalies located throughout the Southern Ocean generate barotropic signals that propagate along submerged topographic features and result in the growt...
