Feedback processes responsible for El Niño-La Niña amplitude asymmetry
Description: To analyze El Niño-La Niña asymmetry, the Bjerknes Stability Index analysis is applied separately to El Niño and La Niña events. The growth rate of the El Niño events is larger than that of the La Niña. Their difference is mainly due to an increased positive dynamical feedback. [Source: Geophysical Research Letters]
