A super important bonus, not least for users in equatorial or very hot regions — the light is transported without the excess heat that comes with direct sunlight, rendering it perfect where windows are kept to a minimum to keep the temperature down.

An unprecedented strengthening of Pacific trade winds since the late 1990s has caused widespread climate perturbations, including rapid sea - level rise in the western tropical Pacific, strengthening of Indo - Pacific ocean currents, and an increased uptake of heat in the equatorial Pacific thermocline.

SA13A - 2269: Relationship between lunar tidal enhancements in the equatorial electrojet and tropospheric eddy heat flux during stratospheric sudden warmings

But the temperature is actually controlled by the lapse rate because any infringement on the lapse rate causes the updrafts in the thunderstorm region to increase and immediately remove the excess heat by increasing the overturning circulation in the equatorial troposphere.

The evolution of El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability can be characterized by various ocean - atmosphere feedbacks, for example, the influence of ENSO related sea surface temperature (SST) variability on the low - level wind and surface heat fluxes in the equatorial tropical Pacific, which in turn affects the evolution of the SST.

Agnostic, there is speculation that there is a bi-polar see - saw b / n the Arctic and Antarctic, likely related to the AMOC, which in its traverse across the equatorial region in the Atlantic, carries ocean heat from the Southern Hemisphere to the northern.

The difference between the GRIP core and the Tierney or other equatorial core, would give you you a reasonable estimate of the maximum rate of internal heat transfer.

That process releases warm water from below the surface of the PWP, shifts it to the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, releases heat there through evaporation, which causes changes in atmospheric circulation, in turn causing SST outside of the tropical Pacific to vary.

Geoff Sharp says: ``... the PDO index is a reliable indicator of the equatorial ocean heat exchange with the atmosphere....

This tells us that, no matter how important ENSO is as a mechanism for redistributing the excess heat of the equatorial Pacific, it is NOT the mechanism that drives the multidecadal oscillations of global temperatures.

Inasmuch as both of these currents circulate primarily North Atlantic water in a narrow equatorial loop, this scarcely qualifies as the great conveyor of heat from SH to NH that you seem to suggest.

AGW climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..
