Description:The role of oceanic feedbacks in determining the asymmetry of El Niño –Southern Oscillation (ENSO) magnitude, spatial structure, and duration is quanti fied on the basis of a novel temperature variance budget. Results con firm previous studies that in the eastern Paci fic, El Niño warm temperature anomalies are larger in magnitude than La Niña cold temperature anomalies mainly due to stronger positive oceanic feedbacks for El Niño. We find that La Niña cold anomalies are typically stronger than El Niño warm anomalies in the central Paci fic with a faster growth rate for cold anomalies, due to a stronger positive thermocline feedback and weaker nonlinear damping. The thermocline feedback related to recharge
