1990a, Zaucker & Broecker 1992), while others argue changes in atmospheric circulation were the driver (the wind field oscillation hypothesis) (Clement & Cane 1999, Seager et al. 2002, Seager 2006 ...

The air above the poles is cold. The cold air sinks creating high pressure. The air moves towards the equatorial low-pressure zone, and warms up when it meets the land or ocean. At around 60 ...
