Open AccessA distinct and reproducible teleconnection pattern over North America during extreme El Niño events
El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) teleconnections are an important predictability source for extratropical seasonal climate forecasts. Previous studies suggest that the ENSO teleconnection pattern depends on...

Redistribution of riverine and rainfall freshwater by the Bay of Bengal circulation
We use satellite-derived currents and a Lagrangian approach to investigate the redistribution of the precipitation minus evaporation (P-E) and river freshwater inputs into Bay of Bengal (BoB) by the oceanic ci...

Correction to: Global ocean heat content redistribution during the 1998–2012 Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation negative phase
The wind stress was erroneously post-processed from the ERA-Interim forecast in our study.

Remote influences on the Indian monsoon low-level jet intraseasonal variations
A strong low-level jet (LLJ), also known as the Findlater jet, develops over the Arabian Sea during the Indian summer monsoon. This jet is an essential source of moisture for monsoonal rainfall over the densel...

Aliasing of the Indian Ocean externally-forced warming spatial pattern by internal climate variability
Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) models project an inhomogeneous anthropogenic surface warming of the Indian Ocean by the end of the 21st century, with strongest warming in the Arabian Sea and Wes...

Natural decadal sea-level variability in the Indian Ocean: lessons from CMIP models
Indian Ocean decadal sea-level variability is an active research area, with many unresolved questions due to inadequate observational coverage. In this study, we analyse 26 Coupled Model Intercomparison Projec...

Global ocean heat content redistribution during the 1998–2012 Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation negative phase
Previous studies have linked the slowdown in global surface temperature warming during the 1998–2012 period to a negative Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) phase. Here, we investigate the changes in ocean...

Modulation of equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature response to westerly wind events by the oceanic background state
Equatorial Pacific Westerly Wind Events (WWEs) impact ENSO evolution through their local and remote oceanic response. This response depends upon the WWE properties (duration, intensity, fetch…) but also on the...

Influence of Westerly Wind Events stochasticity on El Niño amplitude: the case of 2014 vs. 2015
The weak El Niño of 2014 was preceded by anomalously high equatorial Pacific Warm Water Volume (WWV) and strong Westerly Wind Events (WWEs), which typically lead to record breaking El Nino, like in 1997 and 20...

On the physical interpretation of the lead relation between Warm Water Volume and the El Niño Southern Oscillation
The Warm Water Volume (WWV), a proxy for the equatorial Pacific heat content, is the most widely used oceanic precursor of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The standard interpretation of this lead rela...

Influence of air–sea coupling on Indian Ocean tropical cyclones
This paper assesses the impact of air–sea coupling on Indian Ocean tropical cyclones (TCs) by comparing a 20-year long simulation of a ¼° regional coupled ocean–atmosphere model with a twin experiment, where t...

Influence of ENSO on the Pacific decadal oscillation in CMIP models
Emerging decadal climate predictions call for an assessment of decadal climate variability in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) database. In this paper, we evaluate the influence of El Niño Sout...

Open AccessTropical explosive volcanic eruptions can trigger El Niño by cooling tropical Africa
Stratospheric aerosols from large tropical explosive volcanic eruptions backscatter shortwave radiation and reduce the global mean surface temperature. Observations suggest that they also favour an El Niño wit...

Hiatus heat in the Indian Ocean
Global surface warming has slowed since the start of the twenty-first century, while Pacific heat uptake was enhanced. Analyses of ocean heat content suggest that the warm water was transferred to the Indian O...

Processes driving intraseasonal displacements of the eastern edge of the warm pool: the contribution of westerly wind events
We investigate the processes responsible for the intraseasonal displacements of the eastern edge of the western Pacific warm pool (WPEE), which appear to play a role in the onset and development of El Niño ev...

Influence of Indian Ocean Dipole and Pacific recharge on following year’s El Niño: interdecadal robustness
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) can affect the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) state of the following year, in addition to the well-known preconditioning by equatorial Pacific Warm Water Volume (WWV), as sug...

Influence of tropical cyclones on sea surface temperature seasonal cycle and ocean heat transport
Recent studies suggested that tropical cyclones (TCs) contribute significantly to the meridional oceanic heat transport by injecting heat into the subsurface through mixing. Here, we estimate the long-term oce...
