Using Transfer Functions to Quantify ENSO Dynamics in Data and Models
Transfer function tools commonly used in engineering control analysis can be used to better understand the dynamics of ENSO, compare data with models, and identify systematic model errors. The transfer function describes the frequency-dependent input-output relationship between any pair of causally-related variables, and can be estimated from time series. This can then be used to diagnose the u...

متن کاملA New Tool for Evaluating the Physics of Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean Variability in Nature and in General Circulation Models
Intermediate models of the coupled tropical atmosphere-ocean system have been used to illuminate the physics of interannual climate phenomenon such as El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific and to explore how the tropics might respond to an forcing such as changing insolation (Milankovitch) or atmospheric carbon dioxide. Importantly, most of the intermediate models are co...
متن کاملMean Climate Controls on the Simulated Response of ENSO to Increasing Greenhouse Gases
Climate model experiments are analyzed to elucidate if and how the changes in mean climate in response to doubling of atmospheric CO2 (2xCO2) influence ENSO. The processes involved the development, transition, and decay of simulated ENSO events are quantified through a multimodel heat budget analysis. The simulated changes in ENSO amplitude in response to 2xCO2 are directly related to changes i...
متن کاملA study of the sensitivity of ENSO to the mean climate
We study the dependence of the simulated ENSO on the mean simulated climate in the HadCM3 GCM and attempt to understand its relation with results from intermediate-complexity models (ICMs). Our aim is to bridge an existing gap between results from complex GCMs and from more readily understandable ICMs, and thereby to improve our process-based prediction skills of the potential sensitivity of ob...
