| contents | Despite advances in climate modeling, simulating the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) remains challenging due to its spatiotemporal diversity and complexity. To address this, we build upon existing model hierarchies to develop a new unified modeling platform, which provides practical, scalable, and accurate tools for advancing ENSO research. Within this framework, we introduce a dual-core ENSO model (DCM) that integrates two widely used ENSO modeling approaches: a linear stochastic model confined to the equator and a nonlinear intermediate model extending off-equator. The stochastic model ensures computational efficiency and statistical accuracy. It captures essential ENSO characteristics and reproduces the observed non-Gaussian statistics. Meanwhile, the nonlinear model assimilates pseudo-observations from the stochastic model while resolving key air-sea interactions, such as feedback balances and spatial patterns of sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) during El Niño peaks and improving western-central Pacific SSTA magnitudes and spatial accuracy. The DCM effectively captures the realistic dynamical and statistical features of the ENSO diversity and complexity. Notably, the computational efficiency of the DCM facilitates a rapid generation of extended ENSO datasets, overcoming observational limitations. The outcome facilitates the analysis of long-term variations, advancing our understanding of ENSO and many other climate phenomena. |
