Tropical Sea Surface Temperature Variability and Its Impact on Oilseed Crop Yields in China by Yi Zhou, Tianyi Zhang, Xichen Li

“…Abstract Understanding how climate variability affects oilseed yields is crucial for ensuring a stable oil supply in regions such as China, where self‐sufficiency in edible vegetable oils is low. Here, we found coherent patterns in the interannual variability of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies and percent crop yield anomalies in the three ocean basins, and then quantified the contribution of these SST modes to oilseed crop yield anomalies. …”
