While waters the islands to the south are generally cool, Darwin and Wolf are influenced by the warmer waters of the Panama Current and the North Equatorial Countercurrent.

1) It appears AGW that melts arctic freshwater also results in a negative feedback that acts against runaway warming; more warm Gulf Stream volume eventually results in less cool volume from Antarctic subpolar current to North equatorial at the base of Cuba.

Along the east coast, the warm Agulhas Current brings nutrient - poor, tropical waters southward from the equatorial Indian Ocean.

Each ocean has two warm - water equatorial currents that move westward.

El Ni o an irregular variation of ocean current that, from January to February, flows off the west coast of South America, carrying warm, low - salinity, nutrient - poor water to the south; does not usually extend farther than a few degrees south of the Equator, but occasionally it does penetrate beyond 12 S, displacing the relatively cold Peruvian current; usually short - lived effects, but sometimes last more than a year, raising sea - surface temperatures along the coast of Peru and in the equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean, having disastrous effects on marine life and fishing

Such things as the closing of the isthmus of Panama, and the thrusting of the Himalyas 10 km into the equatorial atmospheric winds, seem to have been what initiated the onset of the current cycles of ice ages, while when the Panama gap was open and warm currents could flow round the world, the earth was warmer than today.

A powerful pulse of heat that will reinforce the current weak, mid-ocean El Nino, lend energy to ridiculously warm Pacific Ocean sea surface states, and pave the way for a long - duration equatorial heat spike.

Then, as the La Nina of 1998/99/00 / 01 progressed, the trade winds, Pacific Equatorial Currents, and a phenomenon known as a Rossby wave returned the remaining surface and subsurface warm water to the western Pacific.

The winds are probably less efficient in that regard than the ocean currents are so we might well see a situation where during a glacial, we have a situation where the equatorial region actually gets warmer than during an interglacial.

It is also known that geothermal energy particularly warms the pacific waters around its rim (the ring of fire)-- perhaps not a large factor but, it, too, would be gathered and moved to the equatorial zone by the currents.

What makes ENSO possible is the blockage of the equatorial currents in the Western Pacific that allows the Indo - Pacific Warm Pool to form that is the source of the El Nino wave.

In the North Atlantic and the North Pacific heat transport is regulated by conflict of warm and cold currents: North Atlantic Drift and East Greenland Currents (NA) as drivers of the AMO, Kuroshio and Oyashio Currents (NP) driving the PDO, while in Central Pacific the South Equatorial Current is the key oscillator, the source of tcurrents: North Atlantic Drift and East Greenland Currents (NA) as drivers of the AMO, Kuroshio and Oyashio Currents (NP) driving the PDO, while in Central Pacific the South Equatorial Current is the key oscillator, the source of tCurrents (NA) as drivers of the AMO, Kuroshio and Oyashio Currents (NP) driving the PDO, while in Central Pacific the South Equatorial Current is the key oscillator, the source of tCurrents (NP) driving the PDO, while in Central Pacific the South Equatorial Current is the key oscillator, the source of the ENSO.

With no (or weak) westward equatorial current, the sea surface warms in the tropical Sun and cools evaporatively, adding vast amounts of moisture to the atmosphere.

It is refilled by the coldness of the poles, and artificial pumping, which will increase poleward warm currents (by mechanical pushing), will warm the arctic by pushing more warm equatorial water towards the poles.
