“…In particular, increasing EIS and LCC occurs in regions of decreasing SST (northeastern and southeastern Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the southern Atlantic, and the Southern Ocean). This relationship has been thoroughly discussed in the literature in the context of stratocumulus regions and subsiding circulations (e.g., Klein & Hartmann, 1993;Myers & Norris, 2013;Qu et al, 2014Qu et al, , 2015Wood & Bretherton, 2006). Figure 3 shows the relationship to also be important across much of the world ocean.…”
