厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)是热带太平洋变化的一种自然发生模式,对社会和自然生态系统具有全球影响。虽然人们早就知道厄尔尼诺事件显示出各种各样的振幅,触发器,空间模式和生命周期,但认识到ENSO的影响可能对这种事件之间的多样性非常敏感,这推动了人们对这一主题的新兴趣。本文综述了我们目前对ENSO多样性的认识,确定了理解上的主要差距,并概述了一些有前途的未来研究方向。
El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a naturally occurring mode of tropical Pacific variability, with global impacts on society and natural ecosystems. While it has long been known that El Nino events display a diverse range of amplitudes, triggers, spatial patterns, and life cycles, the realization that ENSO's impacts can be highly sensitive to this event-to-event diversity is driving a renewed interest in the subject. This paper surveys our current state of knowledge of ENSO diversity, identifies key gaps in understanding, and outlines some promising future research directions.
