El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO):A natural mode of tropical atmosphere/ocean variability
Warm events return every 2-7 years, and tend to peak in NH winter

Precipitation Anomalies
El Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
ENSO is a natural pattern of climate variability that is due to tight coupling between the atmosphere and ocean.
• Small changes in the distribution of sea surface temperature are coordinated with changes in atmospheric circulation and rainfall patterns;
• The changed rainfall patterns in the tropics force atmospheric circulation
changes that affect climate world-wide. Temperature Anomalies

ENSO is Predictable
• ENSO is a true mode of the coupled atmosphere/ocean system (eg, patterns of oscillation in a guitar string)
• The long period (3-4 years) of the ENSO mode allows for skillful seasonal climate forecasts (2-4 seasons in advance)
• Presently, empirically based forecast models are at least as skillful as the numerical climate models.
![Page 6: Battisti food&climate1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/5568f62bd8b42aff2e8b4b8f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Examples of applications of seasonal forecast (based on ENSO forecasts)
• Yaqui Valley, Mexico– Winter precipitation and reservoir
inflow; in-field precipitation; health of grazing lands
• Indonesia– Rice yields
• Hurricane forecasts– frequency and intensity
(Atlantic and Pacific)
• Florida– Frost and citrus crops
• Pacific Northwest– Snowpack and hydropower, flood
events, recreation, stream flow, etc.

Monsoon onset is delayed during ENSO
warm events.
The delayed monsoon onset results in reduced
cumulative rainfall through wet season.
ENSO Impacts: Java
ENSO accounts for 61% of the variance in annual rice production (1C Nino3.4 <---> 1 Gt rice production)

Decadal Variability in Sahel Precipitation
• Precipitation in the Sahel is linked to Sea Surface Temperature changes (wet is associated with lower SST in the S. Atlantic and Indian Oceans)
• Mainly due to natural climate variability; some part due to 20th Century changes in CO2 and NH aerosols.
• Future role of Global Warming unclear

The recent drought in the Yaqui
Valley: how extreme? • The reconstructed precipitation
record extends from 1650 to 1985 AD.
• The average return time for a drought similar to the most recent (winter) drought
– six years at 63% of normal precipitation is about a century;
– Five years (1998-9 to 2002-3) at 50% of normal is unprecedent in 350 yrs.
– For reference, the winter average precipitation for 1950-1960 was 79% of normal.
Note: paleo records suggest numerous “megadroughts” in past 1000 years in the US that are presumably natural variability.

Projections of Future Climate

How will climate change due to increasing greenhouse gases?
• the planet will warm, more so in middle and high latitudes than in the tropics;
• the hydrologic cycle will speed up;• the area covered by snow and sea ice in winter will
decrease;• the sea level will rise;• Increased flooding in some areas.
Many changes projected by the models are robust and reliable. Examples of changes that are very likely* over the next 100 years include:
These changes will be much, much greater than the changes seen over the past 150 years that have been attributed to increased greenhouse gases and aerosols.

Trend in Daily Temperature Range1950-1993
• Night is warming faster than day.

Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture
• Increased growing season at high latitudes• Increased minimum temperature (crop growth and
pest/pathogen effects)• Continental drying in midlatitudes (?)• Changes in timing of stream flow in mid and high
latitudes (water availability, etc)• Changes in heat wave frequency and intensity;
change in frost days. • Changing patterns of drought.• CO2 effects on soil BGC, plant pathology; ocean
acidification, etc.

How will climate change affect agriculture in the tropics and subtropics?
• Changes in the annual cycle in precipitation throughout the tropics:– The spatial and temporal structure of the monsoons will
change in a significant way (eg, making places dry that are presently wet; changing the duration of the monsoon)
• Changes in ENSO• Changes in the teleconnection patterns associated with
ENSO– Changing patterns, duration and intensity of drought
(world-wide).
It is highly likely that increasing CO2 will cause large changes in the patterns and intensity of precipitation throughout the tropics within the next 50yrs, including:
Unfortunately, the present generation of climate models can not address these issues. But we are making progress ….
