Abstract The tropical Pacific Ocean exhibits several intriguing features. For nearly 50% of the
tropical Pacific (30° N to 30° S), sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) are within a narrow range
between 300 K and 303 K, and less than 0.01% of the ocean surface has SSTs in excess of
304 K (Figure 1). Furthermore, deep convection is triggered only when SSTs exceed 300 K.
In regions of deep convection and warm SST, the reduction of outgoing longwave energy by
the atmospheric water vapor increases so rapidly with SST that it exceeds the rate of …
