For example, I think that the PDO spreads colder upwelling East Pacific water westwards over a greater fraction of the Pacific, and therefore leaves less surface room for the warmer water that deepens as a warm pool in the West Pacific.

It's ENSO (Southern Oscillation) which has caused the big difference in sea - level change between east and west Pacific over the satellite period.

In the West Pacific and Indian Ocean there is a huge pool of very warm water known as the West Pacific (or Indo - Pacific) warm pool.

Reanalyzing the west Pacific data, using a new WPR and environmental wind pressure data from the NCAR / NCEP reanalysis, Knaff and Sampson get 93 cat 4 or 5 storms from 1975 - 1989, instead of the 75 from the Webster et al. dataset (there's an error in Table 1 of Webster et al. giving that number as 85).

They also use data back to 1966, when the satellite era began in the west Pacific.

«From time to time — these high pressure cells weaken, which allows the West Pacific Warm pool to expand» I'll bet the weakening of these cells around 1977, causing the great climate shift and most of the global warming (and all the warming of Siberia and Alaska) the following 30 years is not found in the model runs.

Wang et al. (2014) find that tropical West Pacific SST warm anomalies (associated with the West Pacific Warm Pool that acts as a precursor of El Niño) played a leading role in causing the strength and longevity of the Triple R by generating a recurring series of atmospheric «Rossby waves» that propagated from west to east across the Pacific Basin.

In fact, the combination of a powerful El Niño event and the sudden re-emergence of accumulated heat from the tropical West Pacific has created unprecedented warmth over a vast expanse of ocean, stretching thousands of miles from coastal Peru to the Gulf of Alaska.

IMO the process whose changes are most likely to be responsible for apparent changes to deep ocean heat content are changes to the nature of turbulent vertical mixing in specific areas of the world, especially the West Pacific / South China Sea, and perhaps the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.

Since the tropical Pacific Ocean has a profound influence upon global climate, this relative warming of the West Pacific had substantial atmospheric effects around the world.

While the Triple R was already firmly entrenched by that point, the West Pacific / North Pacific SST anomalies did not change drastically between December 2013 and January 2014.

A significant amount of this accumulated energy instead went into heating the world's oceans — especially the tropical Pacific, where vast quantities of heat were sequestered in the West Pacific Warm Pool and adjacent Indian Ocean.

More specifically, they find that the relationship between the previously mentioned «El Niño precursor» teleconnection (linking the West Pacific SST anomalies to northeastern Pacific geopotential heights, and subsequently to California precipitation) has strengthened in recent decades due to the emission of greenhouse gases.

Since the tropical West Pacific is already warmer on average than the East, this trend led to a substantial increase in the west - to - east temperature differential across the Pacific Ocean basin over a 15 year period.

Warm water ceases to surge into the eastern Pacific from the west (it was «piled» by past easterly winds) since there is no longer a surface wind to push it into the area of the west pacific.

It should be noted that Walker circulation is actuated by a pressure difference: high pressure in the eastern Pacific (cool SST), low pressure in the west Pacific (warm SST).

The greater the SST difference between the east and the west Pacific, the stronger the wind and the stronger the current; the stronger the current, the greater the rate of upwelling / cooling.

Scientists also link the formation of Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 6,000 people and affected millions, to increased sea surface temperature in the West Pacific.

The primary cause of changes in the course of the northern hemisphere jet stream ultimately goes back to sea surface temperatures in the West Pacific.

This model does not recover the North West Pacific province proposed by Bachraty et al. [8]; instead, it supports the additional split in the South East Pacific Rise, as well as a separate province for the Southern Ocean sites.

The East Indian and West Pacific Oceans can and do warm during La Nina events due to an east - west dipole effect, which would also contribute to the appearance of a lingering El Nino signal.
