Improving the Forecasting of El Niño Amplitude Based on an Ensemble Forecast Strategy for Westerly Wind Bursts

C Ji, M Mu, X Fang, L Tao - Journal of Climate, 2023 - journals.ametsoc.org

Evaluation of equatorial westerly wind events in the Pacific Ocean in CMIP6 models

EM Riley Dellaripa, C DeMott, J Cui… - Journal of …, 2024 - journals.ametsoc.org
Westerly wind events (WWEs) are anomalously strong, long-lasting westerlies over the
