Teleconnection of the 1997 El Nino Observed by Spaceborne Sensors and the Dacadal Anomalies in the Northeast Pacific

Liu et al.[1998] (hereafter referred as LTH), superimposed wind velocity anomalies observed by the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) on the map of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies observed by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) in the Pacific at the end of May 1997, and illustrated that the three regions of anomalous warming in the North Pacific Ocean are related to wind anomalies through different mechanisms.

Interannual to Decadal Variabilities in the Pacific Basin in an Ocean General Circulation Model

Unlike the El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) episodes of the 1980s, anomalous equatorial warming events in the 1990s are more frequent, last for shorter periods, and are less intense.

Asian Monsoons Observed by the Scatterometers and Complementary Spacebased Sensors

Monsoons are the seasonal changes of winds forced by continent-ocean temperature contrast. Their annual onset, intensity, and retreat vary greatly, and the variation has strong economic impact and may cause severe human suffering.
