Significance Statement
: Wintertime sea surface temperature along the coast of China exhibits the largest temporal variability in the Taiwan Strait. We propose a mechanism to explain how the PDO and ENSO alternately control the sea surface temperature in the Taiwan Strait in different PDO phases under the background of global warming. This mechanism can help predict the sea surface temperature trend along the western coast of the North Pacific and can be useful to explain the occurrence of extreme warm and cold events in such a typical subtropical strait.
