Lag-relation between EAWMI and NPO poles(1958-2017)

The correlation is not very high except the southern tip of the south pole (southern branch of the VM)

Conclusion• NPO/VM: a important footprint of the meridional

variability through the tropic-extratropical teleconnection (precursor of ENSO/PDO)

• The initialization of EAWM (Nov.) influences the development of NPO (from the south pole specifically)

• The south pole of NPO directly connects to the VM evolution into the tropics

• Model analysis confirms the pathway modifying NPOthrough the Rossby wave propagation activies

Questions: Can the improved SLPa associated with ENSO in the CESM2 change the pathway?

The dominant surface pattern and variability in the North Pacific-2nd mode

Covariability mode of SLP and SST anomalies from CEOF2 (1948-2012)North Pacific Oscillation (NPO)

Victoria Mode (VM) or NPGO (or PMM)

• NPO itself is a stochastic mode of variability (e.g., Rogers 1981)

• However, a portion of the NPO (southern node) is dynamically linked to the CPW variability (Di Lorenzo, 2010; Furtado et al., 2012).

Here, we will show the development of NPO can also be initialized by the EAWM

• The initialization of EAWM (Nov.) influences the development of NPO (from the south pole specifically)

• The south pole of NPO directly connects to the VM evolution into the tropics

• The vertical structure is also consistent with the Rossbywave ray trajectories

• Model analysis confirms the modification of NPO, further ensemble experiments and wave-activity flux analysis will be done
