Nonlinear country-heterogenous impact of the Indian Ocean Dipole on global economies Open
A positive Indian Ocean Dipole features an anomalously high west-minus-east sea surface temperature gradient along the equatorial Indian Ocean, affecting global extreme weathers. Whether the associated impact spills over to global economie…
