Arctic sea-ice loss is projected to lead to more frequent strong el niño events

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Little is known about whether dwindling Arctic sea ice is capable of influencing the occurrence of strong El Niño, a prominent mode of climate variability with global impacts. Based on time slice coupled model experiments, here the authors show that no significant change in the occurrence of strong El Niño is found in response to moderate Arctic sea-ice loss that is consistent with satellite observations to date. As the ice loss continues and the Arctic becomes seasonally ice-free, the frequency of strong El Niño events increases by more than . . .
