Strengthening Amplitude and Impact of the Pacific Meridional Mode on ENSO in the Warming Climate Depicted by CMIP6 Models

Hanjie Fan et al.

Summary: This study examines the projected changes in the Pacific meridional mode (PMM) and its impact on the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) under greenhouse gas forcing. The results suggest potential increases in both PMM amplitude and its impact on ENSO, highlighting the increasing importance of PMM for ENSO development. The study calls for more attention to be paid to PMM for ENSO prediction.

Impacts of the Atlantic warm pool on North American precipitation and global sea surface temperature in a coupled general circulation model

Chunzai Wang et al.

Summary: The study investigates the responses of North American precipitation to the Atlantic warm pool (AWP) using observational data and the NCAR Community Earth System Model. Different physical mechanisms control the responses in different seasons. In the warm season, the AWP reduces the North Atlantic subtropical high, leading to northerly wind anomalies and precipitation suppression in the central United States. However, in the cold season, the AWP's impact on North American precipitation operates through the teleconnection of cold SST anomalies induced in the tropical Pacific.

Influence of the Pacific Meridional Mode on ENSO Evolution and Predictability: Asymmetric Modulation and Ocean Preconditioning

Hanjie Fan et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the Pacific meridional mode has a significant influence on the development of El Nino-Southern Oscillation events and their seasonal predictability. A matched PMM forcing enhances ENSO events, while a mismatched PMM forcing has a damping effect. The PMM acts as a modulator, rather than a trigger, for ENSO events, and its influence is modulated by the preconditioning of the upper-ocean heat content.

Intermodel Spread in the Impact of the Springtime Pacific Meridional Mode on Following-Winter ENSO Tied to Simulation of the ITCZ in CMIP5/CMIP6

Yuqiong Zheng et al.

Summary: The study found that CMIP6 models show improvements in simulating the Pacific meridional mode (PMM) compared to CMIP5, but still significantly underestimate the air-sea coupling strength and coupling persistence time associated with the PMM. There is a large intermodel spread in the relationship between springtime PMM and wintertime ENSO, attributed to bias in simulating the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Models with a stronger climatological ITCZ provide a favorable background for PMM-related sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) to induce stronger atmospheric heating over the subtropical North Pacific, impacting the following-winter ENSO.

Enhanced North Pacific impact on El Nino/Southern Oscillation under greenhouse warming

Summary: Research suggests that under high-emissions warming scenarios, the North Pacific Meridional Mode (NPMM) strengthens its impact on El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), leading to increased frequency of extreme ENSO events and improved predictability.
