Analysis of the barrier layer oscillation associated with ENSO using the coupled ocean-atmosphere model

本研究分析了海洋资料同化和准耦合资料同化结果，发现与El Nino和La Nina相关的信风变化引起了赤道太平洋南向咸水平流和蒸发的变化，从而导致了盐度的变化。这种变化引起了垂直混合的变化，影响了近地表温度。评估盐度变化对大气场的影响需要改进。

This study analyzed ocean data assimilation and quasi-coupled data assimilation results, and found that the variation of trade winds associated with El Nino and La Nina causes change of saline water advection from south and evaporation in the equatorial Pacific, and results in the salinity variation. This variation induced the change of vertical mixing and affected the near-surface temperature. Improvements were required for the evaluation of the influence of the salinity variation on the atmospheric fields.
