Is Model Parameter Error Related to a Significant Spring Predictability Barrier for El Nio events? Results from a Theoretical Model
Within a theoretical ENSO model, the authors investigated whether or not the errors superimposed on model parameters could cause a significant spring predictability barrier (SPB) for El Nio events. First, sensitivity experiments were respectively performed to the air-sea coupling parameter, α and the thermocline effect coefficient μ. The results showed that the uncertainties superimposed on each of the two parameters did not exhibit an obvious season-dependent evolution; furthermore, the uncertainties caus...

1. Introduction The ENSO, a prominent climate phenomenon in the coupled ocean–atmosphere system of the tropi- cal Pacific, has a significant impact on global climate. Hence, ENSO has received a great deal of attention in the scientific literature. While
