Increasing intensity of El Niño in the central‐equatorial Pacific
Tong Lee,Michael J. McPhaden +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, satellite observations suggest that the intensity of El Niiio events in the central equatorial Pacific (CP) has almost doubled in the past three decades, with the strongest warming occurring in 2009-10.
Journal ArticleDOI
El Niño and its relationship to changing background conditions in the tropical Pacific Ocean
TL;DR: This paper used satellite and in situ ocean data combined with wind data from atmospheric reanalyses for the past 31 years (1980-2010) to investigate whether the increased occurrence of central Pacific (CP) versus Eastern Pacific (EP) El Ninos is consistent with greenhouse gas forced changes in the background state of the tropical Pacific as inferred from global climate change models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction of the adjoint MIT ocean general circulation model and application to Atlantic heat transport sensitivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the principles and practical considerations behind the computer generation of the adjoint to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ocean general circulation model (GCM) using R. Giering's software tool Tangent-Linear and Adjoint Model Compiler (TAMC).
