尽管正在为改进厄尔尼诺-南方涛动的长期预测作出广泛努力,但最先进的业务方案的可预测性仍然受到春季障碍和大气风影响等因素的限制。最近的研究表明,2014/15年厄尔尼诺(EN)事件的停滞是因为6月份整个盆地范围内异常强烈的东风爆发,导致很大一部分次表层海洋热量被释放。在这里,我们使用观测记录和数值实验来探索En对21个月前在海洋次表层发生的热量积聚的程度的敏感性。我们的模拟表明,在这一阶段中热量的大幅增加可以在非常强的EN事件发生之前的冬季导致赤道太平洋整个盆地范围内均匀的温暖条件。在我们的模型配置中,系统补偿初始热含量的任何下降,并自然朝着新的补给方向发展,导致EN事件的发生延迟长达一年。这两种情况都证实了地下热量积累的强度与随后的地震事件的规模和时间之间的非线性相关性。
Despite extensive ongoing efforts on improving the long-term prediction of El Niño-Southern Oscillation, the predictability in state-of-the-art operational schemes remains limited by factors such as the spring barrier and the influence of atmospheric winds. Recent research suggests that the 2014/15 El Niño (EN) event was stalled as a result of an unusually strong basin-wide easterly wind burst in June, which led to the discharge of a large fraction of the subsurface ocean heat. Here we use observational records and numerical experiments to explore the sensitivity of EN to the magnitude of the heat buildup occurring in the ocean subsurface 21 months in advance. Our simulations suggest that a large increase in heat content during this phase can lead to basin-wide uniform warm conditions in the equatorial Pacific the winter before the occurrence of a very strong EN event. In our model configuration, the system compensates any initial decrease in heat content and naturally evolves towards a new recharge, resulting in a delay of up to one year in the occurrence of an EN event. Both scenarios substantiate the non-linear dependency between the intensity of the subsurface heat buildup and the magnitude and timing of subsequent EN episodes.
