[摘要]：The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the largest global climate signal on the interannual time scale. ENSO events occur irregularly, yet individual events follow a similar pattern of developing during boreal summer or fall and peaking during boreal winter. This characteristic of ENSO is often referred to as "phase locking'' of ENSO with the annual cycle. However, no observational evidence of phase interaction between the two phenomena has thus far been presented. In this study, we analyze sea surface temperature observations and find the first evidence of partial phase synchronization of ENSO with the annual cycle. |
