Recent research from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the cooling phenomenon observed in the eastern tropical Pacific and the Southern Ocean, despite global warming trends. Using a new generation of high-resolution climate models, researchers have, for the first time, successfully simulated this cooling pattern. This advancement fills a critical gap in traditional climate models, which have previously struggled to replicate this trend. The study emphasizes the importance of mesoscale ocean eddies and cloud feedback mechanisms in influencing sea surface temperatures.
