Description
Summary:Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is one of the prominent climate phenomena affecting Indonesia. The well-documented impacts of IOD are dry and wet anomalies during positive and negative IOD events, respectively, which are clearly detected during the development and mature phases of IOD in the boreal summer to autumn (June-November). IOD impacts on other seasons were questionable because of unclear associated signals. Here, we find significant precipitation anomalies in the aftermath of IOD events, which reach a peak in the following spring (March-May). The delayed pattern is distinctive with the typical impact of IOD. During positive IOD, the quick recovery and warming of IOD-induced sea surface temperature (SST) in the eastern Indian Ocean due to increasing shortwave radiation is suggested to play a role. When the influence of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is linearly removed, the aftermath impacts of IOD in the western regions appear to be suppressed because of weaker positive (SST) anomalies. While the eastern regions show anomalous increase on precipitation due to anomalous increase of convergence. This finding reveals the complex impacts of IOD and ENSO and may benefit to developing a better seasonal forecast over Indonesia.
