This project will investigate atmosphere-ocean interactions in the tropical Pacific using a hierarchy of coupled atmosphere- ocean models of intermediate complexity. Focus will be on examination of the effects of different atmospheric models and surface boundary conditions on the interannual variability signal related to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. Besides investigating the fundamental mechanisms hypothesized to contribute to the ENSO, the project will determine the feasibility of using an improved version of the intermediate model for predicting El Nino occurrences.

该项目将使用中等复杂程度的大气-海洋耦合模式分层来研究热带太平洋的大气-海洋相互作用。重点是研究不同的大气模式和地表边界条件对与厄尔尼诺-南方涛动（ENSO）现象有关的年际变率信号的影响。除了研究ENSO的基本机制外，该项目还将确定使用改进版本的中间模式来预测厄尔尼诺现象发生的可行性。
