摘要
A coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model is used to investigate climatic shift of El Nine in the Holocene. The model simulates a reduced ENSO intensity in the early and mid- Holocene, in agreement with paleoclimate record. The ENSO reduction is proposed to be caused by both an intensified Asian summer monsoon and a warm water subduction from the South Pacific into the equatorial thermocline.
