也就是,有 ENSO 的二种类型被描绘由的东方太平洋(EP ) ENSO 最温暖(最冷) 在 SST 异例在中央赤道的太平洋上是其最大值(最小) 的东方赤道的太平洋,和中央太平洋(CP ) ENSO 的 SST 异例。为 ENSO 事件和他们的可能的机制的 EP 和 CP 类型的 SST 异例的不对称的特征被在时期期间使用许多数据分析 19612010。到 ENSO 的二种类型的大气的循环的回答也被讨论。结果以空间、时间的分布和紧张显示出 SST 异例的不对称的特征。尽管主导的机制在开发和腐烂阶段不同,海洋的垂直移流在二个 ENSO 事件的不对称的紧张起了一个关键作用。另外,本地、遥远的大气的回答显示出强壮的不对称的信号,它与 SST 异例的不对称的分发一致。在 EP-ENSO (CP-ENSO ) 的不对称的大气的回答类似于与 EP-El Nino (克普拉·尼娜) 联系的那些。与 EP-ENSO 有关的不对称的回答的紧张与 CP-ENSO 有关是比那强壮得多的。
There are two types of ENSO,namely,the eastern Pacific(EP) ENSO that is characterized by the warmest(coldest) SST anomalies in the eastern equatorial Pacific,and the central Pacific(CP) ENSO whose maximum(minimum) SST anomalies are over the central equatorial Pacific.Asymmetric features of SST anomalies for the EP and CP types of ENSO events and their possible mechanisms were analyzed by using a variety of data during the period 1961-2010.The responses of atmospheric circulation to the two types of ENSO were also discussed.The results showed asymmetric features of SST anomalies in terms of spatial and temporal distributions and intensity.Although the dominant mechanisms differed at both development and decay stages,the oceanic vertical advection played a key role in the asymmetric intensity of the two ENSO events.In addition,both local and remote atmospheric responses showed strong asymmetric signals,which were consistent with the asymmetric distribution of SST anomalies.The asymmetric atmospheric responses in EP-ENSO(CP-ENSO) were similar to those associated with EP-El Nino(CP-La Nina).The intensity of asymmetric responses related to the EP-ENSO was much stronger than that related to the CP-ENSO.
