Abstract:
Observed data is relatively short on exploring ENSO decadal variability. The data from coupled GCMs forced with a set of boundary conditions by scenarios of anthropogenic emission of CO2 and SO2 can provide long time series data. Nonlinear decadal ENSO variability will be analyzed by the simulation data. The change in properties (e.g., spatial pattern, period, propagation) of decadal ENSO will also be explored with the increase of emission of CO2 and SO2.
