The North Atlantic warms in response to El Nino events and cools in response to La Nina events, obviously, and the ENSO-induced SST variations (positive and negative) linger in the North Atlantic. In effect, the North Atlantic integrates ENSO. And since the frequency and magnitude of El Nino events have exceeded La Nina events since the mid-1970s, the North Atlantic SST anomalies rise. <br /><br />The South Atlantic is the only ocean basin where heat travels from the pole to the equator, traveling toward the North Atlantic. This contributes to it.Bob Tisdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462377647970214137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-87984084334042099832010-10-28T21:59:43.864-04:002010-10-28T21:59:43.864-04:00I am a UBC student studying the same data set as y...I am a UBC student studying the same data set as yourself. I was wondering if you could give any insight into the difference between the yearly the pacific and atlantic ocean mean sea levels. It appears as though the atlantic has a higher sea level than the pacific one year and then a lower one the next this carries on from 1992 to 2004. At first I thought it was ocean circulations but the only one which could affect both oceans would be the thermohaline. The timescale for the thermohaline is way to long for this to be correct. any ideas on the noticeable fluctuations between the two oceans?jelsligerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914958421425311187noreply@blogger.com
