Abstract

Together from afar The Gulf Stream and the Kuroshio are the large surface boundary currents in the western Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, respectively. They transport heat from the tropics to the extratropics and influence sea surface temperature, weather, and climate throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Kohyama et al . combined satellite observations with model experiments to show that these two currents are synchronized on decadal time scales by the meridional migration of the atmospheric jet stream (see the Perspective by Cessi). This coupling can help to explain climate events such as the abnormally hot summer of 2018 in the Northern Hemispheric extratropics. —HJS
