In the Equatorial Pacific, we normally have equatorial upwelling in the east and downwelling in the west, aka the Western Pacific Warm Pool.

Note that regional proxies, such as the oxygen - isotope temperature reconstructions from the Greenland Ice Core Project that record Dansgaard - Oeschger events, often indicate faster regional rates of climate change than the overall global average for glacial - interglacial transitions, just as today warming is more pronounced in Arctic regions than in equatorial regions (Barnosky et al., 2003; Diffenbaugh and Field, 2013).

As I mentioned previously, any increased external forcing is expected to produce a tropical tropospheric «hot spot» by way of deep convective processes in the equatorial oceans — it is not at all specific to GHG — or CO2 — forcing whatsoever.

Also note that taking POGA - H minus HIST to be representative of the evolving influence of internal variability (ENSO, PDO, IPO, HBO, ELO...) assumes that the forcing in HIST is a match, at least in terms of its temporal shape, for the forcing which actually occurred and resulted in the equatorial Pacific SST observations used in POGA - H.
