Description:This letter explored the in fluence of atmospheric convection scheme on El Niño –Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictions using a set of hindcast experiments. Speci fically, a low-resolution version of the Climate Forecast System version 2 is used for 12 month hindcasts starting from each April during 1982 –2011. The hindcast experiments are repeated with three atmospheric convection schemes. All three hindcasts apply the identical initialization with ocean initial conditions taken from the European Centre forMedium-Range Weather Forecasts and atmosphere/land initial states from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction. Assessments indicate a substantial sensitivity of the sea surface temperature prediction skill to the different convection schemes, particularly over the eastern tropical Paci fic. For the Niño
