• ENSO is the abbreviation of El Niño Southern Oscillation
• The term El Nino means ‘Christ Child’ and was first used by Peruvian fishermen in the late 1800’s to describe the warm current appearing off the western coast of Peru around Christmas time.
• Southern oscillation refers to a seesaw shift in surface air pressure at Darwin, Australia and the South Pacific Island of Tahiti. When the pressure is high at Darwin it is low at Tahiti and vice versa. El Nino, and its sister event – La Nina – are the extreme phases of the southern oscillation, with El Nino referring to a warming of the eastern tropical Pacific, and La Nina a cooling.

Theory: What is ENSO
Page 4
Theory: What is ENSOWhat is ENSO• The El Nino is indicated by the movement of warm water movement of warm water mass
under the surface of ocean from the warm pool warm pool region to the central equatorial Pacificcentral equatorial Pacific
• What is the warmpool region? Is the most warmest equatorial region located in the north of the Papua island and formed after the accumulation of flowing surface warm water in the Pacific Ocean.
• Why the surface water in the Pacific flows?– Due to the earth rotation– Part of the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt– The world ventilation system in the ocean
• Where the water mass in the warmpool ends? The accumulation of that water mass will from geostropically to the Indian Ocean as the Indonesian Throughflow

Theory: Why is ENSO Predictable?Why is ENSO Predictable?• “… the time averages (monthly and seasonal means) for the tropics
have more predictability. This is because they are largely determined by fluctuations of the seasonally varying boundary conditions of sea surface temperature and soil moisture. Under favorable conditions, they can contribute to the predictability of middle latitudes also.” Shukla, 1981Shukla, 1981
• Atmospheric weather is IN PRINCIPLE IN PRINCIPLE not predictable more than 2 weeks or so;
• Over the tropical oceans, the STATISTICSSTATISTICS of atmospheric weather depends on the sea surface temperature (e.g. Rains over warm water);
• Sea surface temperature CANCAN be predicted by a coupled atmosphere-ocean model if the internal state of the upper tropical ocean in known;
• Skill is likely to be much less in mid-latitudes because the SST determines the statistics in the presence or much variability.

Indian Ocean Dipole• The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is a coupled ocean-atmosphere
phenomenon in the Indian Ocean. It is normally characterized by anomalous cooling of SST in the south eastern equatorial Indian Ocean and anomalous warming of SST in the western equatorial Indian Ocean. Associated with these changes the normal convection situated over the eastern Indian Ocean warm pool shifts to the west and brings heavy rainfall over the east Africa and severe droughts/forest fires over the Indonesian region.

• During La Nina (El Nino) the termocline layers will transport more (less) water mass due to ENSO modulations (Meyers, 1996). Large water mass transport is usually associated with a higher density or higher salinity water, thus whenever this layers is modulated, the water composition and density will change accordingly.
Page 30
El Nino and Indonesian climateEl Nino and Indonesian climate
During El Nino, the Indonesian water will be cooler high surface pressure in the MC, winds from Australia will be diverted to the southtern coast of MC create Ekman pumping and upwelling there good for fishery there and western coast of Sumatera. Ironically cool SST will induce drought especially in the western part of MC or the eastern dipole of the Indian Ocean. Hence, most of El Nino will be associatively related to the positive Dipole Mode. Moreover El Nino usually shutdown the MJO potency in that year.

• The global warming will increase surface temperature and its subsurface layer. Changes in temperature will largely occur in the mixing and thermocline layers. Subsequently marine acosystem will change due to comfort zone of living by ocean species.

Impact of climate change and ENSO Impact of climate change and ENSO over the deep seaover the deep sea
• Because of global warming or strong La Nina episodes and rising of surface temperature, the ocean species will swim deeper to find the same comfort zone as before global warming happens. As a result the fish catchment must go deeper. The reverse pattern is true during El Nino event when the fish catchment increase because fish swim in shallower layers.

Why El Nino intensifier due to global warmingWhy El Nino intensifier due to global warming• The Warm pool is formed due to global thermohaline circulation (the
great ocean conveyor belt) and brings surface sea water from north, south and equatorial Pacific. Those surface water is notable warm because direct solar radiation. The warm pool is the main gate of water flow from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean
• El Nino occurs during the movement of subsurface warm pool from north of Papua to central Pacific because the subsurface temperature gradient over the warm pool and central Pacific exceed the critical threshold. By classic fluid dynamics this condition will allow propagation of water masses, thus creating El Nino
• Global warming will make faster warmer warm pool
• With faster and warmer warm pool, the potency to exceed the threshold level will be faster and allowing propagation of water mass El Nino

Competing feature of ENSO and global warming in the region
• As the earth surface temperature warmer, the evaporation rate over the tropics will increase faster and higher water cycle
• There is a tendency of wetter dry season over the maritime continent case 2009

Negative impacts of El Nino
• Long drought and strong potency of forest fire
• Surface water deficit and water deficit in the reservoirs, lake, dams and rivers
• Long drought means harvest failure especially in the paddy field
• Major El Nino issues: rice import, water pump, irrigation and water resources
BMKG
Page 41
Positive impact of El Nino
• Fishery sector will be booming as the fish swim nearer to the surface
• Salt industry will be booming due to longer solar radiation
• Seaweed industry will be booming with cooler surface sea water
BMKG
Page 42
Positive impact of El Nino• Transport sector no weather extreme• Several agriculture commodities will gain
better harvest such as onion, tabacco, teakwood, corn etc.
• Construction sectors will gain better such as building development and the cement industry
• Tourism sector will gain benefit due to longer solar radiation

Page 43
CONCLUSIONS• The maritime continent has high seasonal
predictability from tropical and maritime characters• ENSO is the second largest influences of regional
climate phenomena, whose influences are confined during the dry season due to monsoonal sea surface pattern. event and impact are different
• Indian Ocean dipole, monsoon and global warming are confounding factors affecting the impact of ENSO in the region
• Global warming has intensifier the frequency and intensity of ENSO but on the other hand warmer and wetter the maritime sea and climate
