Change in strong Eastern Pacific El Niño events dynamics in the warming climate
(Springer, 2020)
While there is evidence that ENSO activity will increase in association with the increased vertical stratification due to global warming, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we investigate this issue using the ...

Increased variability of eastern Pacific El Niño under greenhouse warming
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-12)
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant and most consequential climate variation on Earth, and is characterized by warming of equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs) during the El Niño phase and ...

The 2017 coastal El Niño
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-08)
The original concept of El Niño consisted of anomalously high sea surface temperature and heavy rainfall along the arid
northern coast of Peru (Carranza 1891; Carrillo 1893). The concept evolved into the El Niño–Southern ...
