Climate Science: Tropical Expansion by Ocean Swing
Journal Article
·
· Nature Geoscience, 7(4):250-251
The tropical belt has become wider over the past decades, but climate models fall short of capturing the full rate of the expansion. The latest analysis of the climate simulations suggests that a long-term swing of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation is the main missing cause.
