Abstract:Understanding how the tropical Pacific responds to rising greenhouse gases in recent decades is of paramount importance given its central role in global climate systems. Extensive research has explored the long-term trends of tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures (SST) and the overlying atmosphere, yet the historical change of the upper ocean has received far less attention. Here we present compelling evidence of a prominent subsurface cooling pattern along the thermocline in the central-to-eastern tropica… Show more
