Dynamics for El Niño-La Niña asymmetry constrain equatorial-Pacific warming pattern

The asymmetry between El Niño and La Niña episodes in the tropical Pacific is often not well represented in models. Here, the authors show that this asymmetry is related to subsurface nonlinear dynamical heating and that a realistic representation of this process can potentially improve tropical cli...
