Strengthened impact of boreal winter North Pacific Oscillation on ENSO development in warming climate

S. Chen, W. Chen, et al.

Discover how the North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) enhances the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) development amidst greenhouse warming. This compelling research by Shangfeng Chen, Wen Chen, Shang-Ping Xie, Bin Yu, Renguang Wu, Zhibiao Wang, Xiaoqing Lan, and Hans-F Graf reveals the strengthened wind-evaporation-SST feedback that holds promise for improving long-lead ENSO predictions.

Abstract

The North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) significantly influences El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) development. This study uses climate model simulations under high-emission scenarios to demonstrate that greenhouse warming enhances the NPO's impact on ENSO. Warmer SSTs strengthen the wind-evaporation-SST feedback, amplifying NPO-generated wind anomalies and triggering ENSO. This strengthened influence could improve long-lead ENSO prediction.
