Reading, UK With contributions from: Andrew Wittenberg, Alexey Fedorov, Mat Collins, Pascale Braconnot, Fei-Fei Jin, Seon-Tae Kim, James Lloyd, Benoît Vannière Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction Met Office Hadley Centre, Exeter, Dec Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec. 2010
2 El Niño in coupled models Ocean-atmosphere coupled anomaly in the tropical Pacific IPCC (2007) «All IPCC AR4 models show continued ENSO interannual variability in the future no matter what the change in average background conditions, but changes in ENSO interannual variability differ from model to model. Based on various assessments of the current multi-model archive, in which present-day El Niño events are now much better simulated than in the TAR, there is no consistent indication at this time of discernible future changes in ENSO amplitude or frequency.» IPCC AR4 report, WG1, Chap. 10, Executive Summary Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
3 Outline 1. ENSO in coupled GCMs 2. Atmosphere feedbacks during ENSO Dynamical (Bjerknes) feedback Heat flux feedback 3. New strategies to improve ENSO in models Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
4 El Niño in coupled GCMs mean state Zonal wind stress in central Pacific (mean and annual cycle) Trade winds too strong Taux Niño 4 (Pa) Both mean and annual cycle OBS. IPCC-class models Guilyardi et al. (BAMS 2009) Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
5 El Niño in coupled GCMs - amplitude ENSO Amplitude picntrl 2xco2 Standard deviation SSTA (C) ENSO amplitude in IPCC AR4 : much too large diversity! Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
6 El Niño in coupled GCMs - frequency Maximum power of Niño3 SSTA spectra IPCC AR4: improved towards low freq. but still large diversity IPCC TAR: to high frequency AchutaRao & Sperber (2006) Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
7 El Niño in coupled GCMs - structure and timing Westward zonal extension Too small meridional extension With impacts on periodicity (Capotondi et al. 2007) SST standard deviation Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
8 El Niño in coupled GCMs - structure and timing Westward zonal extension Too small meridional extension With impacts on periodicity (Capotondi et al. 2007) SST standard deviation Time sequence of El Niño/La Niña also has errors El Niño termination spatial characteristics e.g.: Model events terminate in West rather than in East Pacific Leloup et al. (2008) Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
9 El Niño in coupled GCMs - teleconnections Tropical teleconnections: Well established Via modulation of Walker circulation and/or equatorial waves ENSO influence over-dominant in models (e.g. IO, Saji et al. 2006, WAM, Joly et al. 2008, SAM, Annamalai et al. 2007, Cai et al. 2008) Extra-tropical teleconnections: Atmospheric bridge via Rossby wave train Still a debate on robustness (Sterl et a. 2007) Timing/amplitude/structure of events all key Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
10 El Niño in coupled GCMs - summary Clear improvement since ~15 years some models get Mean and Annual cycle and ENSO right! but: Amplitude: models diversity much larger than (recent) observed diversity Frequency: progress towards low frequency/wider spectra but still errors Seasonal phase lock: very few models have the spring relaxation and the winter variability maximum Structure and timing: westward extension and narrowing around equator, issues with time sequence (onset, termination) Modes: very few model exhibits the diversity of observed ENSO modes; most are locked into a S-mode (coherent with too strong trade winds) Teleconnections: ENSO influence over-dominant Guilyardi et al. (BAMS 2009) Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
11 ENSO Amplitude chnage ENSO Amplitude El Niño in a warming climate Model biases dominate over scenario picntrl 2xCO2 SRES A2 vs. pdcntrl Evolution of mean state has little impact Some studies detect change in structure and/or balance of processes (e.g. Philip and van Oldenborgh 2009) Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec IPCC (2007), Guilyardi et al.

Model diversity/errors comes from thermal damping ( ) and Thermocline and Ekman feedbacks Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
15 Atmosphere feedbacks during ENSO Multi-model and sensitivity studies show that AGCM has a dominant role (e.g. Schneider 2002, Guilyardi et al. 2004, Kim et al. 2008, Neale et al. 2008, Sun et al. 2008,...) Two types of feedbacks: Dynamical: Bjerknes feedback µ Heat flux feedback Guilyardi et al.

32 Community strategies to improve ENSO in models CLIVAR Workshop, Paris, France, November 2010 New strategies for evaluating ENSO processes in climate models Initiated by CLIVAR Pacific Panel (following BAMS and NGEO review papers) Brought together range of experts: ENSO theory, modelling, observations, forecasting,... The challenges lying ahead: Improve the quality and utility of historical records Maintain present ENSO observing system into the future Continue promoting intercomparison studies (ENSO metrics) Isolate the main sources of model error, guided by theory (BJ & other ENMICS), observations, and rigourous evaluation of the models Testing climate models in initialised mode (seasonal forecast, TAMIP,...) to understand the evolution of model biases Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
33 Using seasonal hindcasts: a new strategy to understand IPCC-class model errors Case studies rather than 100+ year long statistics Analyse initial adjustment phase of hindcast Detailed and process-based comparison to wealth of recent observations (TAO, JASON, A-train,...) Good configuration to look at cloud-sst and wind-sst interactions Links with - WGSIP s Climate Forecast Historical Project (CFHP) - CMIP5 near-term decadal simulations
34 Using seasonal hindcasts to understand ENSO errors EU ENSEMBLES seasonal hindcasts (stream 2) 5 models, 4x50 hindcasts Analysis of model errors as a function of hindcast leadtime Mean annual cycle Vannière et al. (2011) Models simulate correctly either El Niño or La Niña, but not both Models converge towards their own annual cycle when departing from obs.
35 Using seasonal hindcasts to understand ENSO errors Analysis of ENSO atmosphere feedbacks as a function of hindcast leadtime Vannière et al. (2011) µ and SW stabilized after 1-2 months (although mean state still drifting)
36 Outcome of ENSO CLIVAR workshop Science discussions, e.g.: Consensus on basic mechanisms driving ENSO, but not on ENSO triggers (WWBs, mid-latitudes footprinting, Indian ocean, etc.) Process-oriented tools/models to diagnose ENSO properties in GCMs Decadal variability / diversity of ENSO ENSO problem is far from understood or solved Opportunity to narrow the gap between ENSO theoreticians, observationalists, and operational community Catalogue of ENSO evaluation methods for GCMs (incl. coordination of CMIP5 analysis) Review paper on ENSO progress and challenges Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec

40 ENSO atmosphere feedbacks: what about µ? (Zonal x Merid.) µ El Niño Amplitude Obs R97E (3.75 x 2.5) R99A (3.75 x 1.8) R149A (2.5 x 1.8) R1414A (2.5 x 1.2) R1914E (1.8 x 1.2) Varying the horizontal atmosphere resolution in IPSL-CM N/m 2 /C W/m 2 /C o C AGCM resolution affects µ (but not ): Atmosphere grid can see ocean equatorial wave guide Added non-linearities in AGCM: better circulation (on/off convection behavior reduced,...) Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
41 Composite analysis of large-scale regimes during El Niño Subsidence Convection in far east Pacific Positive SW has the potential to amplify El Niño during growing phase, i.e. before convective/ascent threshold is reached AMIP KE potential much larger than that of AMIP TI KE and TI have opposite regimes during ENSO in far east Pacific TI ascent threshold 2 o C lower than KE TI physics triggers convection too easily which prevents ENSO from developping Workshop on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Exeter, Dec
42 Heat flux feedback components Split net feedback into four components: shortwave (SW), longwave (LW), latent heat (LH) and sensible heat (SH) flux feedbacks. SW (blue bars) and LH (green bars) components dominate. Lloyd et al. (Clim. Dyn. 2010) The SW feedback shows the greatest model diversity linked to cloud uncertainties in East Pacific region (e.g. Sun et al. 2009)
