El Niño suppresses Antarctic warming [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2004 Here we present new isotope records derived from snow samples from the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica and re‐analysis data of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ERA‐40) to explain the connection between the warming of the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean [Jacka and Budd, 1998; Jacobs et al., 2002] and the current cooling of ...

Disentangling Global Warming, Multidecadal Variability, and El Niño in Pacific Temperatures [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 AbstractA key challenge in climate science is to separate observed temperature changes into components due to internal variability and responses to external forcing. Extended integrations of forced and unforced climate models are often used for this purpose.

Hydrographic and biological changes in the Taiwan Strait during the 1997–1998 El Niño winter [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 During the 1997–1998 El Niño event, the average sea surface temperature (SST) in the Taiwan Strait (TWS) in the winter was ∼1.4°C higher than that of the winter climatological mean. The areal ratio of the warm water (≥2°C above the regional mean) to the cold water (≥2°C below the regional mean) in the TWS increased by 25% while the area of the ...

Amplification of streamflow impacts of El Niño by increased atmospheric greenhouse gases [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 Some El Niño events produce unusually large precipitation amounts in Northern and Central California. We use a high‐resolution global model of the atmosphere coupled to a physically‐based model of surface hydrology to investigate effects of increased atmospheric CO2 and this type of El Niño, both individually and in combination, on monthly river flows ...

A Western Pacific Oscillator Paradigm for the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 1997 A data‐based hypothesis is presented on the mechanism of the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a major determinant of interannual global climate variability. The hypothesis emphasizes the importance of off‐equator sea surface temperature and sea level pressure variations west of the dateline for initiating equatorial easterly winds over the far ...

Climate regimes, El Niño-Southern oscillation and konzo epidemics [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2015 Epidemics of konzo have occurred during severe droughts in parts of east, central, and southern Africa since the 1920s. Occurrence is attributed to exposure to cyanide from poorly processed cassava foods, the sole source of calories when other food crops fail.

The Mechanical Energies of the Global Atmosphere in El Niño and La Niña Years [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2011 Abstract Two meteorological reanalysis datasets are analyzed to determine the mechanical energies of the global atmosphere in the El Niño and La Niña years. The general consistency of the mean energy components between the two datasets reveals ~1%–3% increase and ~2%–3% decrease in the mean energies in the El Niño years and La Niña years,

Hydrographic conditions off northern Chile during the 1996–1998 La Niña and El Niño events
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2002 The evolution of oceanographic conditions in the upwelling region off northern Chile (18°–24°S) between 1996 and 1998 (including the 1997–1998 El Niño) is presented using hydrographic measurements acquired on quarterly cruises of the Chilean Fisheries Institute, with sea surface temperature (SST), sea level, and wind speeds from Arica (18.5°S), Iquique

El Niño, the 2006 Indonesian peat fires, and the distribution of atmospheric methane [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2013 Dry conditions from a moderate El Niño during the fall of 2006 resulted in enhanced burning in Indonesia with fire emissions of CO approximately 4–6 times larger than the prior year. Here we use new tropospheric methane and CO data from the Aura Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer and new CO profile measurements from the Terra Measurements of Pollution ...

, 2018 Pacific mole crabs (Emerita analoga) are one of the most important and abundant invertebrates in sandy beach environments. Consequently, they are a common food source for seabirds and sea otters. Since the mole crab serves as the primary intermediate host for acanthocephalan parasites, they have been linked to a number of mortality events.
