| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The processes of the phase change in the tropical Pacific decadal variability are examined using numerical models and atmospheric reanalysis data. The tropical Pacific decadal variability, which is associated with the shallow overturning circulation of the Pacific, is found not only in the physical fields, such as sea surface temperatures and sea surface height, but also in the bio-geochemical fields like anthropogenic carbon dioxide. It is found that heat exchange between the tropical and subtropical regions plays an important role in the weakening of the positive phase around 1985. It is also suggested that the increase in the poleward heat transport associated with the enhanced equatorial trade winds, which originate from the atmospheric variability in the mid-latitude North Pacific, mainly contributes to the enhancement of the negative phase after the mid-1990s.
