The two great basins - Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean have their respective oscillations: Indian Ocean Dipole and El Nino Southern oscillation that affect the climate of the regions as well as the world at large. Is there any scientific agreement that the two basins are coupled at the oceanic level and the atmospheric level ? What are the observable manifestations of this coupling between basins?

$\begingroup$ This discusses the influence of IOD on ENSO (observations + model results) and also lists a few references that further discuss their interaction (references 27-31): A model for super El Niños $\endgroup$– Joscha FreginCommented Jul 22, 2021 at 13:27

$\begingroup$ @J.Fregin You can write it up and I can upvote. It's a really old question and I had forgotten I had asked it. Six years is a long time.. $\endgroup$– user1066Commented Jul 22, 2021 at 14:16
