  • Wu and Kirtman 2003
  • In reality, ENSO and the monsoon are integral
    parts of the coupled system and interact with
    each other
  • The monsoon anomalies include both ENSO-related
    and unrelated variations. Similarly, the Pacific
    SST anomalies likely have monsoon signals.
  • This leads to difficulty in separating the wind
    anomalies induced by either ENSO or monsoon
    alone.
  • Because of the tendency for a warm(cold) event
    to concur with a dry(wet) monsoon (Meehl 1987
    Webster and Yang 1992), the obtained anomalous
    circulation features display a high degree of
    similarity for these two types of composite.
  • Thus the composites cannot separate the
    anomalies induced by the monsoon from those
    induced by ENSO.

  • What we want to see?
  • How can we interpret the result of model?

Statistical appearance of monsoon-ENSO
relationship
Observation
  • It is hard to analyze with OBS data because the
    period is short
  • (for the many essential variables)
  • In the model result, we can see that there is
    similar appearance of monsoon ENSO relationship

Conclusion
  • Indian monsoon can affect to the ENSO evolution
  • a strong or weak monsoon has significant effects
    on an ongoing warm event through surface zonal
    wind-stress anomalies in the equatorial western
    central Pacific
  • ENSO can affect to the Indian monsoon transition
  • through modulating tropical east-west
    circulation over the tropical Indian and Pacific
    Oceans
  • -gt low-level anomalous moisture convergence
    precondition of following monsoon
