Abstract

The article focuses on a study which aims to examine the evolving amplitude and key characteristics of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events in 2015 and 2016. It explores the ENSO event using statistics of Niño3 and Niño4 sea surface temperature (SST) indices, which derived from observational datasets and coupled general circulation model simulations.
