The seasonal cycle can contribute to the irregularity and phase-locking of ENSO, and the
intraseasonal variability can be a source of both ENSO's variability and irregularity. Tropical …

This paper reviews the meteorology of the Western Indian Ocean and uses a state–of–the–
art atmospheric general circulation model to investigate the influence of the East African …

Relatively little is known about coherent vortices in the eastern South-Pacific along the
Peruvian coast, even with regard to basic facts about their frequency of occurrence …

Abstract The NCAR Community Climate System Model, version 3 (CCSM3) exhibits
persistent errors in its simulation of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) mode of …

Observations of the development of recent El Niño events suggest a pivotal role for the
Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). Previous attempts to uncover a systematic relationship …

Westerly wind bursts (WWBs) that occur in the western tropical Pacific are believed to play
an important role in the development of El Niño events. Here, following the study of …

Two ten-members ensemble experiments using a coupled ocean-atmosphere general
circulation model are performed to study the dynamical response to a strong westerly wind …

The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are
independent climate modes, which frequently co-occur, driving significant interannual …

Synoptic wind events in the equatorial Pacific strongly influence the El Niño/Southern
Oscillation (ENSO) evolution. This paper characterizes the spatio-temporal distribution of …

Statistical features of the relationship among westerly wind bursts (WWBs), the El Niño–
Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and intraseasonal variations (ISVs) were examined using 40 …
