Primes¶
- Teleconnection
- Teleconnection clarifies by naming the structural reason why distant systems are coupled: not magic, mystery, or global uniformity, but a specifiable shared mechanism, as Philander (1990) demonstrated in his canonical synthesis of El Niño, La Niña, and the Southern Oscillation.
This sourceCanonical synthesis of ENSO dynamics and teleconnections; develops the mechanism-level explanation (atmospheric convection, Walker circulation, jet-stream response) that converts apparent action-at-a-distance into a specifiable causal chain.

Domain-specific¶
- Ekman Transport
- Along the equator, easterly trade winds drive poleward Ekman transport in both hemispheres simultaneously, creating a surface divergence that sustains equatorial upwelling and the cold tongue; during El Niño the relaxation of the trades reduces this divergence and allows the equatorial thermocline to deepen and warm
This sourcePoleward Ekman transport in both hemispheres under the trades, the resulting equatorial divergence and cold tongue, and thermocline deepening when the trades relax in El Nino.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
