Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and forcing mechanisms of El Niño over the past 21,000 years
Zhengyu Liu,Zhengyu Liu,Zhengyao Lu,Xinyu Wen,Bette L. Otto-Bliesner,Axel Timmermann,Kim M. Cobb +6 more
TL;DR: A series of transient Coupled General Circulation Model simulations forced by changes in greenhouse gasses, orbital forcing, the meltwater discharge and the ice-sheet history throughout the past 21,000 years show an orbitally induced strengthening of ENSO during the Holocene epoch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent changes of southeastern equatorial and northern African rainfall during the last deglaciation
Bette L. Otto-Bliesner,James M. Russell,Peter U. Clark,Zhengyu Liu,Zhengyu Liu,Jonathan T. Overpeck,Bronwen Konecky,Bronwen Konecky,Peter B deMenocal,Sharon E. Nicholson,Feng He,Zhengyao Lu +11 more
TL;DR: A climate model uses a transient simulation with a climate model to show that a reduction in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at the beginning of the last deglaciation caused a Reduction in precipitation in northern and southeastern equatorial Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Paleo El Niño-Southern Oscillation
TL;DR: The authors summarizes current understanding of ENSO's past evolution during both interglacial and glacial periods and its response to external climatic forcings such as volcanic, orbital, ice-sheet and greenhouse gas forcings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Greening of the Sahara suppressed ENSO activity during the mid-Holocene
Francesco S. R. Pausata,Francesco S. R. Pausata,Qiong Zhang,Francesco Muschitiello,Francesco Muschitiello,Francesco Muschitiello,Zhengyao Lu,Léon Chafik,Eva M. Niedermeyer,J. Curt Stager,Kim M. Cobb,Zhengyu Liu,Zhengyu Liu +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that accounting for a vegetated and less dusty Sahara during the mid-Holocene relative to preindustrial climate can reduce ENSO variability by 25%, more than twice the decrease obtained using orbital forcing alone.
