On the El-Niño Teleconnection to Spring Precipitation in Europe

چکیده
Abstract In a statisti al analysis of more than a entury of data we nd a strong onne tion between strong warm El Ni~ no winter events and high spring pre ipitation in a band from Southern England eastwards into Asia. This relationship is an extension of the onne tion mentioned by Kiladis and Diaz (1989), and mu h stronger than the winter season tele onne tion that has been the subje t of other studies. Linear orrelation oeÆ ients between DJF NINO3 indi es and MAM pre ipitation are higher than r = 0.3 for individual stations, and as high as r = 0.49 for an index of pre ipitation anomalies around 50◦N from 5◦W to 35◦E. The lagged orrelation suggests that south-east Asian surfa e temperature anomalies may a t as intermediate variables.

El Niño/La Niña and Sahel Precipitation During the Middle Holocene
Simulations with a synchronously coupled atmosphere-land-ocean-sea ice model indicate El Niño/La Niña-like events in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean during the middle Holocene (6 ka) with similar intensities and frequencies as at present (0 ka). July-August-September Sahel precipitation shifts northward as expected from proxy data. For presentday, interannual-decadal variability of western S...
متن کاملThe Impact of the East Atlantic/Western Russia Pattern on the Hydroclimatology of Europe from Mid-Winter to Late Spring
In this study, the influence of the East Atlantic/Western Russia teleconnection pattern on the hydroclimatology of Europe, from mid-winter to late spring, is investigated. The influence of EAWR on the variability of precipitation (PP), temperature (TT) and standardized precipitation-evapotranspiration index (SPEI) is investigated on the base of correlation and stability maps. It is shown that E...
متن کاملLand–atmosphere coupling in El Niño influence over South America
This study addresses the role of soil moisture and its interaction with the overlying atmosphere in setting up climate anomalies over South America during El Niño years using observations as well as Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) simulations. It is found that during summertime land–atmosphere interaction is instrumental in setting the spatial pattern and sign of surface air temper...
متن کاملRole of Equatorial Pacific SST Forecast Error in the Late Winter California Precipitation Forecast for the 2015/16 El Niño
During the strong 2015/16 El Niño, only normal to below-average precipitation fell across California in the late winter. This disagrees with both predictions by the ensemble mean of forecast models and expectations for strong El Niños. The authors examine one of the possible reasons why this event did not bring expected precipitation to California in the late winter. The maximum equatorial Paci...
متن کاملGlobal Warming–Induced Changes in El Niño Teleconnections over the North Pacific and North America
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) induces climate anomalies around the globe. Atmospheric general circulation model simulations are used to investigate how ENSO-induced teleconnection patterns during boreal winter might change in response to global warming in the Pacific–North American sector. As models disagree on changes in the amplitude and spatial pattern of ENSO in response to global war...
