Abstract:

We found evidence in TOPEXA’OSIHDON sea level data that equatorial first meridional mode Rossby waves reflected at the Pacific western boundary into Kelvin waves during the January-July 1994 period prior to the 1994-1995 El Niiio evcn ~ By analyzing data and using a simple coupled ocean-atmosphere model, we demonstrated that this reflection was a key mechanism for the onset of the 1994-
