El Niño enhances the subtropical jet stream by altering tropical Pacific heating and atmospheric circulation
El Niño alters tropical Pacific heating and meridional temperature gradients, which directly impacts and enhances the positioning and behavior of the subtropical jet stream.
Papers 0 and 10 provide explicit evidence and mechanistic descriptions of how tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies and convective heating during El Niño events modulate the subtropical jet stream.

Paper 0 establishes that tropical Pacific warming during El Niño alters the meridional temperature gradient, shifting and modifying the subtropical jet stream.

Paper 10 demonstrates that variations in El Niño's tropical heating and sea surface temperature anomalies drive distinct subtropical jet stream responses.
