DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073846
Abstract: The frequency of central Pacific (CP) El Nino events displays strong decadal-variability but the associated dynamics are unclear. The Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) and the Tropical Pacific Decadal Variability (TPDV) are two dominant modes of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl076269
Abstract: Model biases are substantial in ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere simulations in the tropical Pacific Ocean, including a too cold tongue and too diffuse thermocline. These biases can be partly attributed to vertical mixing parameterizations in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017jc013052
Abstract: The causes of ENSO diversity, although being of great interest in recent research, do not have a consistent explanation. This study provides a possible mechanism focused on the background change of the tropical Pacific as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joc.6047
Abstract: This study presents a basin‐wide assessment about the spatiotemporal variability of streamflows in Ecuador for the period 1979–2015. The influence of the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) on streamflow variability from February to April… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00376-017-7134-y
Abstract: In order to examine the response of the tropical Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) to strong tropical volcanic eruptions (SVEs), we analyzed a three-member long-term simulation performed with HadCM3, and carried out four additional CAM4 experiments.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-3990-5
Abstract: The mixed layer depth (MLD) plays an important role in the climate system through its influences on sea surface temperature (SST). The Kraus–Turner–Niiler (hereafter referred to as KTN) bulk mixed layer (ML) model is designed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-018-4534-3
Abstract: The El Niño Modoki is separated into two types, El Niño Modoki I and El Niño Modoki II, which are characterized by substantially different mechanism. According to comparisons between the evolution of air-sea coupled processes… read more here.

Factors affecting interdecadal variability of air–sea CO2 fluxes in the tropical Pacific, revealed by an ocean physical–biogeochemical model
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Climate Dynamics"
DOI: 10.1007/s00382-019-04766-5
Abstract: The tropical Pacific is the largest source region of CO2 release to the atmosphere through the sea surface, with air–sea CO2 fluxes varying on seasonal to interdecadal timescales, which is attributed to several factors. At… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12526-017-0666-7
Abstract: Flyingfishes are large enough to eat zooplankton, small enough to be consumed by top predators, and therefore form a central mid-trophic component of tropical epipelagic marine food webs. Characterizing patterns of flyingfish abundance, distribution, and… read more here.
