[1] We present evidence showing that the nonlinear dynamic heating (NDH) in the tropical Pacific ocean heat budget is essential in the generation of intense El Nino events as well as the observed asymmetry between El Nino (warm) and La Nina (cold) events. The increase in NDH associated with the enhanced El Nino activity had an influence on the recent tropical Pacific warming trend and it might provide a positive feedback mechanism for climate change in the tropical Pacific.
