Abstract

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is unrealistically weak in the latest ACME coupled model runs. This is manifest in both atmosphere and ocean variables; for example, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and precipitation both show too little inter-annual variability in the central equatorial Pacific. With the aim of attributing the ENSO simulation deficiencies to the relevant model components – atmosphere, ocean, or coupler – we look at surface fluxes and associated atmosphere and ocean variables in the tropical Pacific from various coupled and un-coupled ACME runs. To gain additional insights, comparisons are made with ERA-Interim and CESM.
