NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE A Simple Model Study of ENSO Suppression by External Periodic Forcing*
نویسنده
چکیده
The study of a forced delayed oscillator ENSO model suggests that the intensity of ENSO can be suppressed significantly by an external periodic forcing due to the nonlinear mechanism of frequency entrainment. This suppression of ENSO is most effective for ENSOs in the regime of unstable self-exciting oscillation and for forcing of frequencies close to that of ENSO. In particular, an annual cycle forcing can suppress ENSO substantially. This ENSO suppression effect by an external annual cycle is in contrast to the effect of the seasonal change of the coupled instability: the latter predominantly generates the seasonal phase locking of ENSO but has little effect on the amplitude of ENSO. Potential implications are also discussed for the evolution of ENSO in the Holocene and the observed monsoon–ENSO relationship.

NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE On the Interannual Variability of the Indonesian Throughflow and Its Linkage with ENSO
The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) variability is assessed using a retrospective analysis of the global ocean based on the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) experiment spanning the period 1950–99. A comparison between the 1983–95 observed ITF, and the simulated ITF suggests a reasonably accurate reconstruction of ocean circulation in the vicinity of the ITF during the available measurement re...
متن کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE A Perpetually Running ENSO in the Pliocene?
Difficulties remain with theoretical explanations of the apparent reduced zonal sea surface temperature gradient in the tropical Pacific of the Pliocene. One favored hypothesis is that it was a ‘‘permanent El Niño’’ state, with the warm phase of ENSO remaining fixed over millions of years. Here, an alternative is suggested— that there was a ‘‘perpetually running ENSO’’ with a shorter return tim...

متن کاملSome notes on the characterization of two dimensional skew cyclic codes
A natural generalization of two dimensional cyclic code ($T{TDC}$) is two dimensional skew cyclic code. It is well-known that there is a correspondence between two dimensional skew cyclic codes and left ideals of the quotient ring $R_n:=F[x,y;rho,theta]/_l$. In this paper we characterize the left ideals of the ring $R_n$ with two methods and find the generator matrix for two dimensional s...

In this study we investigate the physical processes underlying maintenance of an in-phase transition between the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) and the succeeding North Australian summer monsoon (NASM). In particular, our attentions were focused on identification of the roles of sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) in the Indian Ocean in contrast to that of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation...
