A strong dipole oscillation in the Southern Indian Ocean affects climate patterns in China. This oscillation is linked to changes in sea surface temperatures and atmospheric pressure, leading to altered rainfall in the Yangtze River basin and South China. The West Pacific warm pool plays a crucial role in this relationship, independent of El Niño-Southern Oscillation.
