Open AccessFine-scale rainfall over New Caledonia under climate change
Global climate models projections indicate no clear future rainfall changes over the Southwestern Pacific islands in response to anthropogenic forcing. Yet, these models have low (~ 100–200 km) spatial resolut...

Impact of surface temperature biases on climate change projections of the South Pacific Convergence Zone
The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) is poorly represented in global coupled simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), with trademark biases such as the tendency to form ...

Mechanisms controlling warm water volume interannual variations in the equatorial Pacific: diabatic versus adiabatic processes
Variations of the volume of warm water above the thermocline in the equatorial Pacific are a good predictor of ENSO (El Niño/Southern Oscillation) and are thought to be critical for its preconditioning and dev...

Role of high- and low-frequency winds and wave reflection in the onset, growth and termination of the 1997–1998 El Niño
The present study aims at studying the role played by high-frequency wind variability, wave reflection and easterly wind anomalies in the western Pacific in the onset, growth and termination phases of the 199...

The Trident Pacific model. Part 2: role of long equatorial wave reflection on sea surface temperature anomalies during the 1993–1998 TOPEX/POSEIDON period
The present study aims to give a quantitative description of the role played by long equatorial waves on sea surface temperature anomalies during the 1993–1998 TOPEX/POSEIDON period and more specifically duri...

Long equatorial wave reflection in the Pacific Ocean from TOPEX/POSEIDON data during the 1992–1998 period
The TOPEX/POSEIDON sea level data have been shown to observe the sea surface height variability accurately over the globe and, more particularly, in the tropical Pacific, core region of the El Niño/Southern O...
