Correlated climatic variations between the tropical Pacific and the Atlantic were examined. Atlantic SST fields with multi-decadal lags express characteristic high correlation to the tropical Pacific. The Atlantic climatic variations are suggested to come back to the Pacific. Central America, where the two oceans locate nearby each other like as an isthmus, has been proposed as one of the probable candidates connecting with the processes. The Pacific off Central America is affected by atmospheric forcing, such as wind stresses, from the Atlantic side. The variation of atmospheric conditions might considerably reflect that of oceanic conditions. The decadal time scale analysis gives indications of the processes to be influenced by Atmospheric Hand of Atlantic (AHA), the atmospheric forcing of which variation relates to the Atlantic climatic variations. Central America plays a conjunctive role, not only in geomorphology but also as a link for decadal variability between the Pacific and the Atlantic.
