Modulation of late Pleistocene ENSO strength by the tropical Pacific thermocline

How the El Niño Southern Oscillation depends on the background conditions is not well known. Here, the authors present individual foraminifera distributions which show that central Pacific variability is related to the warmth and depth of the thermocline across varying climate background conditions...
