A Simple Model of the Atmospheric Response to ENSO Sea Surface Temperature AnomaliesSource: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1991:;Volume( 048 ):;issue: 001::page 3Author:Kleeman, R.

Abstract: A low-order tropical atmospheric model is developed that gives a reasonable account of the tropical precipitation and circulation anomalies observed during various El Niño and La Niña events. The dynamical part of the model is a linearization about a state of rest with the usual tropical vertical mode retained. The heating is obtained from latent and nonlatent sources with the former obtained from perturbing a steady-state moisture equation about climatology and confining the heating to high SST regions. A thorough sensitivity analysis is undertaken and the model tendency to place major anomalies on the western and northern side of SST anomalies is examined.
