Dominant Processes for Dependence of Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation on El Niño Phases

Abstract Boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) strongly interacts with background mean fields and tends to be stronger and longer in its northward propagation during La Niña than El Niño summers. However, BSISO dependence on El Niño‐Southern Oscillation phase has not been well understood....

description Abstract Boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) strongly interacts with background mean fields and tends to be stronger and longer in its northward propagation during La Niña than El Niño summers. However, BSISO dependence on El Niño‐Southern Oscillation phase has not been well understood. Here, we show that BSISO‐related convections are stronger and more organized with northward propagation on 30–60‐day timescales during El Niño developing (E‐DV) than decaying (E‐DC) summers over the western Pacific. The easterly vertical shear, responsible for the next vorticity generation north of the BSISO convection, in the E‐DV (E‐DC) remarkably increases (decreases) due to the enhanced (weakened) upper‐level easterly anomaly. The air‐sea interaction in E‐DV gets stronger due to the larger meridional gradient of sea surface temperature, amplifying northward propagation than in E‐DC.
