Zonal Structure of Tropical Pacific Surface Salinity Anomalies Affects the Eastern and Central Pacific El Niños Differently

Abstract Maximum sea surface salinity (SSS) anomalies are found in the central Pacific during the eastern Pacific El Niño (EPEN) and located further westward during the central Pacific El Niño (CPEN), but whether these differences affect event strengths is unclear. By performing ocean general circul...
