Abstract EN
Impacts of two-type ENSO (El Niño/Southern Oscillation), canonical ENSO and ENSO Modoki, on rainfall over Taiwan are investigated by the monthly mean rainfall data accessed from Taiwan Central Weather Bureau.
The periods of the two-type ENSO are distinguished by Niño 3.4 index and ENSO Modoki index (EMI).
The rainfall data in variously geographical regions are analyzed with the values of Niño 3.4 and EMI by correlation method.
Results show that the seasonal rainfalls over Taiwan are different depending on the effects of two-type ENSO.
In canonical El Niño episode, the rainfall increases in winter and spring while it reduces in summer and autumn.
On the contrary, the rainfall increases in summer and autumn but reduces in winter and spring in El Niño Modoki episode.
Nevertheless, two types of La Niña cause similar effects on the rainfall over Taiwan.
It increases in autumn only.
The rainfall variations in different types of ENSO are mainly caused by the monsoon and topography.
