This slower warming of the tropical Pacific induces changes in the atmospheric circulation that can be seen in the reanalyses, but two different reanalysis products that incorporate different amounts of satellite data in different ways produce conflicting estimates of the change in circulation.
Since this circulation transports vast amounts of energy northwards, a slowing would influence atmospheric temperature contrasts and associated weather patterns, including in the UK.
This section documents regional changes and slow fluctuations in atmospheric circulation over past decades, and demonstrates that these are consistent with large - scale changes in other variables, especially temperature and precipitation.
