  2. Tropical rainforest climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_rainforest_climate

    A tropical rainforest climate or equatorial climate is a tropical climate sub-type usually found within 10 to 15 degrees latitude of the equator. There are some other areas at higher latitudes, such as the coast of southeast Florida, United States, and Okinawa, Japan that fall into the tropical rainforest climate category.

  3. Tropical Atlantic SST Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Atlantic_SST_Dipole

    The meridional (interhemispheric) mode demonstrates seasonal changes, arriving to a maximum during the boreal spring, on and north of the equator. The seasonal changes in surface wind forcing, which are closely linked to the seasonal displacement of the ITCZ, incite a response on the ocean surface, affecting current systems in the tropical Atlantic as well as the slope of the underlying ...

  4. Equatorial wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_wave

    Equatorial waves are present in both the tropical atmosphere and ocean and play an important role in the evolution of many climate phenomena such as El Niño. Many physical processes may excite equatorial waves including, in the case of the atmosphere, diabatic heat release associated with cloud formation, and in the case of the ocean ...

  5. Tropics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropics

    The climate is changing in the tropics, as it is in the rest of the world. [13] The effects of steadily rising concentrations of greenhouse gases on the climate may be less obvious to tropical residents, however, because they are overlain by considerable natural variability.

  6. Atlantic Equatorial mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Equatorial_mode

    The Atlantic Equatorial Mode or Atlantic Niño is a quasiperiodic interannual climate pattern of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean.It is the dominant mode of year-to-year variability that results in alternating warming and cooling episodes of sea surface temperatures accompanied by changes in atmospheric circulation.
