Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article showed that a doubling in the occurrence of such extreme episodes is caused by increased surface warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, which results in the atmospheric conditions required for these event to occur.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Climate modelling evidence is presented for a near doubling in the occurrences of zonal SPCZ events between the periods 1891–1990 and 1991–2090 in response to greenhouse warming, even in the absence of a consensus on how ENSO will change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does the Southern Annular Mode contribute to the persistence of the multidecade-long drought over southwest Western Australia?
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the influence from a negative Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is greater than that from a positive SAM and vice-versa, which explains why a small positive shift in the SAM can cause a large SWR reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme swings of the South Pacific Convergence Zone and the different types of El Niño events
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that zSPCZ events are concurrent with notable eastern Pacific (EP) warming, and that only El Nino events with strong EP warming can shift the convective zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidecadal ENSO Amplitude Variability in a 1000-yr Simulation of a Coupled Global Climate Model: Implications for Observed ENSO Variability
TL;DR: Using a 1000-yrintegration of a coupled global climate model and a linear stability analysis, it was demonstrated that multidecadal modulation of ENSO amplitudes can be controlled by the underlying thermocline feedback mechanism, which in turn is governed by the response of the oceanic thermoclines slope across the equatorial Pacific to changes in the overlying basinwide zonal winds as mentioned in this paper.
