Competing Effects of Eastern and Central‐Western Pacific Winds in the Evolution of the 2017 Extreme Coastal El Niño

In this study, we investigate the relative contributions of dynamical forcings, particularly the eastern and central-western Pacific …

On the asymmetry of the tropical Pacific thermocline fluctuation associated with ENSO recharge and discharge

The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) plays a crucial role in a successful climate prediction at seasonal-interannual time scales. …

Understanding Lead Times of Warm-Water-Volumes to ENSO Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies

Dynamics and Implications for ENSO's Subsurface Ocean Temperature Vertical Dipole Anomalies in the Central Equatorial Pacific

Recent classification of El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) into two types, Eastern (EP) and Central (CP) events, has highlighted the …

Understanding Lead Times of Warm Water Volumes to ENSO Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies

Predicting El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events in advance has profound socio-economic benefits because of ENSO’s impacts on …

Advancing Understanding of ENSO’s Relationship with Equatorial Pacific Thermocline

Abstract: Equatorial Pacific thermocline plays an important role in El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycles. On one hand, …

ENSO Dynamics in the E3SM-1-0, CESM2, and GFDL-CM4 Climate Models

This study examines historical simulations of ENSO in the E3SM-1-0, CESM2, and GFDL-CM4 climate models, provided by three leading U.S. …

On the Breakdown of ENSO’s Relationship with Thermocline Depth in the Central‐Equatorial Pacific

Here we show that in the central equatorial Pacific ENSO subsurface temperature correlates poorly with thermocline but well with sea …

Simple ENSO Models

The fundamental dynamical mechanisms of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon have been extensively studied since Bjerknes …
