Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple recent studies confirm that strong oceanic-atmospheric teleconnections and basin interactions link the Indian and Pacific Oceans, significantly modulating regional climate anomalies and ENSO predictability.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide robust, multi-faceted evidence supporting the claim of strong oceanic-atmospheric coupling between the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean basins (e.g., papers 1, 3, and 6). These studies demonstrate how climate modes and anomalies in one basin (like the IOBM in the Indian Ocean) interact with and modulate phenomena in the other basin (like ENSO in the Pacific), through atmospheric circulations, subsurface heat transport, and wave trains. No papers refute the claim.
