Abstract

A signature of El Nino-Southern Oscillation is found in the historical dataset of the Alaskan Tanana river breakups where the average ice breaking day is found to anticipate of about 3.4 days when conditioned over El Nino years. This results represents a statistically significant example of ENSO teleconnection on regions remote from tropical Pacific.
