  abstract = {{T}his study examined connections between the {N}orth {P}acific climate variability and occurrence of the central {P}acific ({CP}) {E}l {N}ino for the period from 1950 to 2012. {A} composite analysis indicated that the relationship between the {N}orth {P}acific sea surface temperature ({SST}), along with its overlying atmospheric circulation, and the {CP} {E}l {N}ino during the developing and mature phases was changed when the occurrence frequency of the {CP} {E}l {N}ino significantly increased after 1990. {E}mpirical orthogonal function ({EOF}) and singular value decomposition ({SVD}) analyses of variability in the tropical {P}acific and its relationship to the {N}orth {P}acific show that the {N}orth {P}acific anomalous {SST} and the atmospheric variability are more closely associated with the occurrence of the {CP} {E}l {N}ino after 1990 than before 1990. {T}here were noticeable differences in terms of the atmospheric variability conditions over the {N}orth {P}acific, such as the {N}orth {P}acific {O}scillation ({NPO})-like atmospheric variability during the spring and its associated {SST} anomalies during the following winter before 1990 and after 1990. {I}n addition, combined {EOF} analysis also indicated that the {NPO}-like atmospheric circulation becomes more effective at playing a role in initiating {E}l {N}ino after 1990. {C}onsequently, such a change might have been associated with the frequent occurrence of the {CP} {E}l {N}ino after 1990.},
