Contrasting impact of single-year and multi-year El Niño on the Pacific-North American teleconnection pattern
Distinct Pacific-North American (PNA) teleconnection patterns and their associated climate impacts in North America have been observed during single-year El Niño events, as well as during both the first and second years of multi-year El Niño events. The research highlights the critical role of PNA-related North Pacific circulation anomalies, which shift northwestward during multi-year events and reach their peak intensity in the second year. Multiple dynamical diagnostic methods are employed to elucidate the reasons behind the diverse subtropical circulation responses. Differences in the anomalous tropical heat sources influence the formation of Rossby wave sources through adjustments in divergent wind anomalies, subsequently modulating the position and intensity of the PNA patterns. Additionally, variations in the meridional range of sea surface temperature anomalies affect the edge of tropospheric temperature through moist-adiabatic adjustment, leading to distinct subtropical jet stream responses. This, in turn, modifies the position of North Pacific circulation anomalies through the advection of anomalous kinetic energy. Furthermore, synoptic-scale transient eddies act as a feedback mechanism, helping to maintain and intensify these diverse atmospheric anomalies.
