The linearity of the El Niño teleconnection to the Amundsen Sea region.

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) drives interannual variability in West Antarctic climate through altering atmospheric circulation in the Amundsen Sea region (ASR). The El Niño-ASR teleconnection is known to be strongest in austral winter and spring, but its variation with El Niño amplitude is underexplored. This study uses experiments from the HadGEM3-A climate model to investigate the El Niño-ASR teleconnection for a range of imposed SST perturbations spanning weak (0.
