I have a Bsc in chemistry but take an interest in oceanography and climate science as an amateur. A couple of years ago I read that nobody has been able to
pinpoint what triggers an el nino event.
I have found at a qualitative level an explanation for the trigger that accounts for the location and direction of the major changes in sea surface temperature once
the trigger is pulled.
My proposal centres on the idea that when
the humidity of the air in the western equatorial pacific reaches a certain point rain falls and the heat it releases
rises to the top of the Walker circulation
where it is transported eastwards to
the coast of Chile. This heat transfer stops then reverses the Walker circulation. El Nino is more severe when there are thunderstorms - Julian Madden oscillations- because thunderstorms generate huge amounts of rain and heat from condensed water vapour that huge updrafts carry to the top of the Walker circulation.
Please let me know if you would like to know more.
