To determine whether prominent interdecadal oscillations in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are forced internally by climate dynamics or externally through greenhouse gas emissions and volcanic eruptions.
The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

This will sharpen attribution of past climate changes and inform future projections, making the Atlantic highly predictable for some emissions scenarios while the Pacific will continue to introduce prolonged uncertainty in climate outlooks.
