“There is an increasing body of evidence pointing to significant changes in Pacific Ocean climate as a consequence of global warming,” says co-author, Dr Wenju Cai from CSIRO’s Wealth from Oceans Flagship.
“What we are attempting to clarify is how those changes will enhance or moderate ENSO and, in Australia’s case, deliver stronger or weaker El Niño events which would have vastly different implications,” he says.
