Why does El Niño develop slowly but decay rapidly
El Niño events typically develop slowly but decay rapidly, yet the processes driving this phase asymmetry remain insufficiently quantified. Here we diagnose the mixed-layer heat budget over integration depths ranging from 30 to 100 m and introduce a depth-resolved diagnostic fram...
