Numerical simulation of the atmospheric response ito the time-varying El Nino SST anomalies during May 1982 through October 1983

An attempt is made to simulate the atmospheric circulation anomalies corresponding to the observed SST anomalies in the Pacific Ocean for the 18-month period of May 1982 through October 1983. A GCM is first integrated for 25 months with monthly climatological boundary conditions of SST, soil moistur...
