| Abstract: |
| A data-based hypothesis on the role of the South China Sea (SCS) in ENSO cycle is proposed:during El Niño,there are westerly wind anomaly over the western equatorial Pacific and positive SST anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific.Meanwhile anomalous convection moves to the central Pacific with anomalous sinking over Indonesian Archipelago.The latter can cause southerly wind anomaly over the north of South China Sea (NSCS) and makes the NSCS warmer.The warm NSCS can attract the anomalous convection to it in some degree.This attraction is in favor for producing easterly wind anomaly over the western equatorial Pacific,so it helps to form a cycle. |
