Cooling of the poles means stronger winds at the equator

"'Climate signals can propagate from the polar regions to the tropics either via the atmosphere or the ocean,' explained Stuecker. 'Our climate model simulations were designed to investigate the relative role of these pathways'... The authors found that in the most complex model simulations, which include realistic representations of the ocean, atmosphere, land processes, and sea ice, an anomalous cooling in either hemisphere leads to a strengthening of the tropical trade winds." - Excerpt from University of Hawai'i at Manoa
