英文摘要: Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies that develop in spring in the central Pacific are crucial to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) development. Here we use a linear, continuously stratified, ocean model, and its impulse response to a typical ENSO wind pattern, to derive a simple equation that relates those SST anomalies to the low frequency evolution of zonal wind stress anomalies τx over the preceding months. We show that SST anomalies can be approximated as a “causal” filter of τx, τx(t − t1) − c τx(t − t2), where t1 is ~1-2 months, t2 − t1 is ~6 months and c ranges between 0 and 1 depending on τx location (i.e. SST anomalies are approximately proportional to the wind stress anomalies 1-2 months earlier minus a fraction of the wind stress anomalies 7-8 months earlier). The first term represents the fast oceanic response, while the second one represents the delayed negative feedback associated with wave reflection at both boundaries. This simple approach is then applied to assess the relative influence of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and of the Indian Ocean Basinwide warming/cooling (IOB) in favouring the phase transition of ENSO. In agreement with previous studies, Atmospheric General Circulation Model experiments indicate that the equatorial Pacific wind responses to the IOD eastern and (IOB-related) western poles tend to cancel out during autumn. The abrupt demise of the IOD eastern pole thus favours an abrupt development of the IOB-cooling-forced westerly wind anomalies in the western Pacific in winter-spring (vice versa for an IOB warming). As expected from the simple SST equation above, the faster wind change fostered by the IOD enhances the central Pacific SST response as compared to the sole IOB influence. The IOD thereby enhances the IOB tendency to favour ENSO phase transition. As the IOD is more independent of ENSO than the IOB, this external influence could contribute to enhanced ENSO predictability. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015. Citation statistics:
