Table 1 Change in atmospheric variables due to a 1 K SST warming in the WSST region from 1982 to 2012. The actual values are shown with the percentage change relative to the mean CTL value (in parentheses). All variables were obtained from an average of the WSST region, except for rainfall, which was from the WPH region
