The evolution of El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability can be characterized by various ocean - atmosphere feedbacks, for example, the influence of ENSO related sea surface temperature (SST) variability on the low - level wind and surface heat fluxes in the equatorial tropical Pacific, which in turn affects the evolution of the SST.

General circulation models frequently suffer from a substantial cold bias in equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs).

However, during La Niña Modoki the anomaly of the sea surface temperature (SST) in the eastern Pacific isn't affected by cooling but by warming just like western equatorial Pacific, while a cold anomaly affects the central equatorial Pacific (Niño 3.4).

At interannual time scales, a warming of the equatorial Atlantic and Pacific / Indian Oceans results in rainfall reduction over the Sahel, and positive SST anomalies over the Mediterranean Sea tend to be associated with increased rainfall.

Interactions between externally - forced climate signals from sunspot peaks and the internally - generated Pacific Decadal and North Atlantic Oscillations «When the PDO is in phase with the 11 year sunspot cycle there are positive SLP anomalies in the Gulf of Alaska, nearly no anomalous zonal SLP gradient across the equatorial Pacific, and a mix of small positive and negative SST anomalies there.

They conclude that the «most recent climate shift, which occurred in the 1990s during a period of continuous satellite coverage, is characterized by a «La Niña» SST pattern with significant signals in the central equatorial Pacific and also in the northeastern subtropics.

The long - term linear trend of the equatorial Pacific SST anomalies are incredibly flat, meaning there is little trend.

That process releases warm water from below the surface of the PWP, shifts it to the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, releases heat there through evaporation, which causes changes in atmospheric circulation, in turn causing SST outside of the tropical Pacific to vary.

The area shown in your graph reinforces my point, the area in contention is continually above normal in reference to SST anomalies which promotes lower pressures in that region compared to the eastern equatorial pacific.

During an El Niño event, the warming outside of the eastern and central equatorial Pacific is greater than the cooling, and global SST anomalies rise.
