CESM 1.2 climate model simulation output for: The Essential Role of Westerly Wind Bursts in ENSO Dynamics and Extreme Events Quantified in Model 'Wind Stress Shaving' Experiments
<p>Westerly wind bursts (WWBs)—brief but strong westerly wind anomalies in the equatorial Pacific—are believed to play an important role in El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dynamics, but quantifying their effects is challenging. Here, we investigate the cumulative effects of WWBs on ENSO characteristics, including the occurrence of extreme El Niño events, via modified coupled model experiments within Community Earth System Model (CESM1) in which we progressively reduce the impacts of wind stress anomalies associated with model-generated WWBs. In these "wind stress shaving" experiments we limit momentum transfer from the atmosphere to the ocean above a preset threshold, thus "shaving off" wind bursts. To reduce the tropical Pacific mean state drift, both westerly and easterly wind bursts are removed, although the changes are dominated by WWB reduction. As we impose progressively stronger thresholds, both ENSO amplitude and the frequency of extreme El Niño decrease, and ENSO becomes less asymmetric. The warming center of El Niño shifts westward, indicating less frequent and weaker Eastern Pacific (EP) El Niño events. Removing most of wind bursts-related wind stress anomalies reduces ENSO amplitude by 22%. The essential role of WWBs in the development of extreme El Niño events is revealed in the suppressed eastward migration of the western Pacific warm pool and hence a weaker Bjerknes feedback under wind shaving. Overall, our results reaffirm the importance of WWBs in shaping the characteristics of ENSO and its extreme events and imply that WWB changes with global warming could influence future ENSO.</p>

CESM2 and E3SM variables used for diagnosing westerly wind events
<p>This data set contains variables needed to identify and evaluate westerly wind events (WWEs) in a simulation using the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) and a simulation using the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). The CESM2 simulation was a historical run from 1980–1999 that was restarted from the CMIP6 historical simulation. The E3SM was a 400-year pre-industrial simulation from which we analyzed the last 39 years. Only those last 39 years are included in the E3SM files. </p> <p>For both the CESM2 and E3SM simulations, meridionally-averaged zonal wind stress from 2.5°S – 2.5°N filtered from 5–90 days was used to identify westerly wind events in the Pacific Ocean (120°E – 280°E). Events were defined as patches of zonal wind stress in the time-longitude plane with zonal wind stress values of 0.04 Nm<sup>-2</sup> or larger that lasted at least 5 days and were at least 10° longitude long. Meridional wind stress was also used along with the zonal wind stress to make spatiotemporal composite wind-stress vectors across all WWEs for each model. Outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) was also used as a proxy for convection. Again spatiotemporal composites were made of OLR centered on WWEs for each model. Finally, 1000-mb zonal wind speed was used to determine if WWEs defined by 5-90 day filtered zonal wind stress actually correspond to unfiltered westerly wind speeds.</p> <p>These simulations were part of a larger set of simulations used to evalute the fidelity of WWEs in CMIP6 simulations through a variety of model diagnostics. WWEs are important to air-sea feedbacks as they can initiate ocean Kelvin waves that then propagate eastward altering the thermodynamic structure of the upper ocean. Most importantly, these WWE-generated Kelvin waves can play an important role in El Nino Southern Oscillation dynamics.</p>
