摘要
In contrast to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Indian Ocean has seemed to manifest little coherent behaviour in the variability of such parameters as water temperature and rainfall. Now, however, two studies identify a so-called dipole mode in which the distribution of ocean temperature can be related to rainfall patterns in east Africa and Indonesia.
