Understanding Equatorial Atlantic Interannual Variability (2007, background): “However, in boreal spring the atmosphere is most sensitive to cross-equatorial SST gradients (Chang et al. 2000; Sutton et al. 2000; Chiang et al. 2002), and it is hard to separate the two responses.”
Extratropical Cooling, Interhemispheric Thermal Gradients, and Tropical Climate Change (2012, background): “The sensitivity of the rainfall to this tropical SST pattern arises for several reasons (Chiang et al. 2002).”
The Atlantic Meridional Mode and hurricane activity (2007, background): “In particular, it has been shown that the AMM can be excited by variations in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and ENSO [Chiang et al., 2002; Czaja et al., 2002, and references therein].”
Climate Fluctuations of Tropical Coupled Systems—The Role of Ocean Dynamics (2006, result): “The independent development of IOD is reported by most other CGCM studies (Yu et al. 2002; Gualdi et al. 2003; Lau and Nath 2004; Cai et al. 2005; Fischer et al. 2005) but for two exceptions (Baquero-Bernal et al.”
