coupled almost exclusively to the polar regions, and so are in the «cold» box and not the warm one or some average of them.

The weakening of the Walker
circulation arises in these
models from processes that are fundamentally different from those of El Nià ± o — and is present in both mixed - layer and full -
ocean coupled models, so is not dependent on the

models have sufficient oceanic resolution to represent Kelvin waves and the physics behind them is quite simple — so of all the
model deficiencies to focus on this one seems a little odd).
