Evaluation of climate models
Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many
models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of …

Future high-resolution El Niño/Southern oscillation dynamics
The current generation of climate models does not properly resolve oceanic mesoscale
processes in tropical oceans, such as tropical instability waves. The associated deficit in …

Evaluating climate models with the CLIVAR 2020 ENSO metrics package
Abstract El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant mode of interannual climate
variability on the planet, with far-reaching global impacts. It is therefore key to evaluate …

Tropical pacific observing system
This paper reviews the design of the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) and its
governance and takes a forward look at prospective change. The initial findings of the TPOS …

ENSO representation in climate models: From CMIP3 to CMIP5
We analyse the ability of CMIP3 and CMIP5 coupled ocean–atmosphere general circulation
models (CGCMs) to simulate the tropical Pacific mean state and El Niño-Southern …

Climate change projections using the IPSL-CM5 Earth System Model: from CMIP3 to CMIP5
We present the global general circulation model IPSL-CM5 developed to study the long-term
response of the climate system to natural and anthropogenic forcings as part of the 5th …

Uncertainty of ENSO-amplitude projections in CMIP5 and CMIP6 models
There is a long-standing debate on how the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) amplitude
may change during the twenty-first century in response to global warming. Here we identify …

Robust decrease in El Niño/Southern Oscillation amplitude under long-term warming
Abstract El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the primary mode of interannual climate
variability, and understanding its response to climate change is critical, but research remains …

ENSO modeling: History, progress, and challenges
Climate models are essential tools for understanding ENSO mechanisms and exploring the
future, either via seasonal‐to‐decadal forecasting or climate projections. Because so few …

Future Indian Ocean warming patterns
Most future projections conducted with coupled general circulation models simulate a non-
uniform Indian Ocean warming, with warming hotspots occurring in the Arabian Sea (AS) …
