Fidelity of El Niño Models and Simulations Matter for Predicting Future Climate
A new study led by University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researchers and recently published in the Nature Communications journal revealed that correctly simulating ocean current variations hundreds of feet below the ocean surface - the so-called Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent - during El Niño events is key in reducing the uncertainty of predictions of future warming in the eastern tropical Pacific.
The issue of prediction is not so much one of timing, but of degree or severity.
Trade winds and the temperatures in...
