Foremost among these hurdles is understanding the physics that maintains and perturbs the western Pacific warm pool, the region of the warmest sea surface temperature in the open oceans, which coexists with the largest annual precipitation and latent heat release in the atmosphere.
To gain a clear understanding of global climate change, the ENSO phenomenon, and the intraseasonal variability of the coupled atmosphere-ocean system, it is clear that a better specification of the coupling of the ocean and the atmosphere is required.
The overall effect was to increase the IOP IFA daily averaged rainfall (estimated from the Q2 budget) from 8.166 mm/day to 8.207 mm/day (or an increase of 0.041 mm/day).
