Barrier Layer Variability in the Central Equatorial Pacific Associated With ENSO Development
Abstract Previous studies suggest that a thick barrier layer can strengthen surface warming during El Niño and vice versa for La Niña. Here we find barrier layer changes of up to 6 m in the central equatorial Pacific (CEP, 170°E−160°W, 5°S–5°N) in response to a 1°C change in the Niño 3.4 index using...
