Climate Quote by Anonymous
““the same general structure as that seen in the onset of El Niño, and the amplitudes are large enough to account for a large part of the observed composite El Niño warming (see Rasmusson and Carpenter 1982, Harrison and Larkin 1998). There is no waveguide warming””
About This Quote
Source Paper: Climate Dynamics, 1998, Harrison and Larkin
The quote describes a pattern similar to El Niño, with large enough amplitudes to explain much of the observed warming, and asserts no waveguide warming is present.
In simple terms: It compares a climate pattern to El Niño and says it explains much warming, without waveguide warming.
