摘要
Based on outputs of 28 coupled models from the Phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), we show that the response of the Southeast Asian summer monsoon to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) during post-ENSO summer will likely strengthen in a warmer climate, which can be attributed to concurrently weakened sea-surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the western equatorial Pacific (WEP). The weakened WEP SSTAs are primarily caused by enhanced latent heat damping due to increased surface wind speed anomalies, which are associated with the eastward shift of the El Nino-induced anomalous Walker circulation due to El Nino-like sea surface temperature change in the tropical Pacific under global warming. Besides, the climatological zonal ocean currents will slow down due to the weakening of climatological Walker circulation, which also acts to weaken the WEP SSTAs via reducing the advection of anomalous temperature by the mean current. As an important component of the Asian monsoon system, the Southeast Asian summer monsoon (SEASM) is crucial for the livelihoods of billions of people in East Asia, and is closely connected to a climate phenomenon called El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Understanding how the relationship between SEASM and ENSO will change in the future is important for enhancing our knowledge of climate change in East Asia. Outputs of 28 climate models from the Phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project show that ENSO will exert enhanced impacts on the SEASM in a warmer climate. The enhanced influences of ENSO on the monsoon will exacerbate the reduction of rainfall over the western North Pacific during the post-El Nino summer. We find that such projected changes are mainly caused by weakened warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies (SSTAs) in the western equatorial Pacific (WEP). Further analyses indicate that the change in WEP SSTAs can be linked to the El Nino-like change in climatological SSTs in the tropical Pacific. This study depicts detailed physical processes responsible for the projected changes in ENSO's impacts on the SEASM. The effects of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation on the Southeast Asian summer monsoon will strengthen under global warmingThe enhanced El Nino's impacts result from the weakened warm sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the western equatorial Pacific (WEP)The weakened WEP SST anomalies are related to the eastward shift of anomalous Walker circulation and the slackened mean zonal ocean currents
