Scientific paper

Relative contributions of the North and South Pacific to the equatorial ocean are estimated in a coupled climate model. Idealized experiments show that the South Pacific contributes 30-50% more than the North Pacific to the equatorial ocean temperature change, because the warming in the North Pacific can induce an additional cold Rossby wave at around 20°N that tends to block the warm effect from the central North Pacific, while the South Pacific influence can be easily convoyed to the equator through the interior pathway.
