Previous studies indicated that the spring Arctic Oscillation (AO) exerts significant influences on the subsequent winter El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). This analysis suggests that the spring AO-ENSO linkage is highly modulated by its preceding November AO. When November and the subsequent spring AO indices are in phase, the spring AO has a pronounced influence on ENSO. However, when the November and spring AO indices are out of phase, the spring AO-ENSO connection disappears. Modulation of the November AO on the spring AO-ENSO connection is mainly through the constructive and destructive superposition of the November and spring AO associated sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the tropical central-eastern Pacific in spring and summer, as well as the SST anomalies developed further in the tropical Pacific via the positive air-sea feedback.
先前的研究表明,春季北极涛动(AO)对随后的冬季厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)有显著影响。本分析表明,春季 AO-ENSO 的联系受到其前一个 11 月 AO 的高度调制。当 11 月和随后的春季 AO 指数同相时,春季 AO 对 ENSO 有显著影响。然而,当 11 月和春季 AO 指数异相时,春季 AO-ENSO 联系消失。11 月 AO 对春季 AO-ENSO 联系的调制主要是通过 11 月和春季 AO 相关的热带中东部太平洋海表温度(SST)异常在春季和夏季的建设性和破坏性叠加,以及热带太平洋进一步发展的 SST 异常通过正的海气反馈。
