Description: |
To investigate the dependency of ENSO transitivity on its amplitude, a suite of idealized experiments using an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) is performed by imposing 12 different ENSO-related SST anomalies exhibiting equal spatiotemporal distribution but different amplitude. The AGCM experiments show strong nonlinearity in the equatorial Western Pacific zonal wind against the amplitude of the warm phase. [Source: International Journal of Climatology]
