Short summary
Our research explores how SST (sea surface temperature) changes in non-polar regions impact the polar energy budget. Through idealized SST experiments, we found that warming in tropical and mid-latitude oceans raises polar temperatures through enhanced atmospheric energy transport, leading to surface warming and top-of-atmosphere cooling in polar areas. This study highlights the distinct impacts of tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean SST changes on Arctic and Antarctic climates.
