Entry ID:
GSFC_ENSO_ESPI_TIMESERIES
Summary
Abstract:
A summary of the GPCP (V2x79) precipitation-based ENSO indices (EI,
LI, ESPI) The goal in constructing a precipitation-based measure of ENSO was to estimate the gradient of rainfall anomalies across the Pacific basin and ensure a good relationship with SST- and pressure-based indices. Areas were selected that represent the Maritime Continent (MC) (100 N - 100S; 900 E - 1500 E) and central to ...
