Climate change and the tropical Pacific: the sleeping dragon wakes.
T global impact of the tropical Pacific atmosphere–ocean system has been extensively studied in connection with the El Niño cycle. There is reason to believe that the system may also hold the key to rapid reorganizations of climate leading to changes that persist from centuries to millennia. The unusually steady climate of the past 10,000 years, after the ultimate recovery from the Younger Drya...
متن کاملReconciling International Investment Law and Climate Change Policy : Potential Liability for Climate Measures Under the Trans - Pacific Partnership
The pending Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement has raised controversy, fueled by leaks of the draft text and congressional debate over fast-track negotiation authority. Like similar agreements, the TPP creates the risk of government liability for enacting regulations, especially new or comprehensive measures to address climate change. This Article analyzes how the TPP’s investor pr...
متن کاملRegional Patterns of Tropical Indo - Pacific Climate Change : 1 Evidence of the Walker Circulation Weakening
17 18 Regional patterns of tropical Indo-Pacific climate change are investigated over the last six 19 decades based on a synthesis of in situ observations and ocean model simulations, with a 20 focus on physical consistency among sea surface temperature (SST), cloud, sea level 21 pressure (SLP), surface wind, and subsurface ocean temperature. A newly-developed 22 bias-corrected surface wind dat...

Regional patterns of tropical Indo-Pacific climate change are investigated over the last six decades based on a synthesis of in situ observations and ocean model simulations, with a focus on physical consistency among sea surface temperature (SST), cloud, sea level pressure (SLP), surface wind, and subsurface ocean temperature. A newly developed bias-corrected surface wind dataset displays west...
متن کاملInfluences of Atlantic Climate Change on the Tropical Pacific via the Central American Isthmus*
Recent global coupled model experiments suggest that the atmospheric bridge across Central America is a key conduit for Atlantic climate change to affect the tropical Pacific. A high-resolution regional ocean– atmosphere model (ROAM) of the eastern tropical Pacific is used to investigate key processes of this conduit by examining the response to a sea surface temperature (SST) cooling over the ...
