Description:The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event has a long incubation process, during which the interannual variation of length‐of‐day (LOD) and the atmospheric angular momentum (AAM) series will be quickly affected due to the interaction between sea and air. Based on the comparisons between filtered interannual LOD variation, the AAM, the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI), and the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for the period of January 1953 and December 2013, the relationships among them and ENSO are studied. The results demonstrate that AAM changes and SOI/ONI series have similar waveform structures and trends. Interannual LOD variations, atmospheric LOD excitations, and ENSO indices such as the SOI and ONI are well correlated as a consequence of angular momentum conservation. AAMs can be accurately modeled at present, taking ESMGFZ as an example, its sampling interval can reach 3 hr, and can realize accurate prediction in the next 90 days. Consequently, AAM series also can be used as an index for ENSO events and has its own advantages compared with SOI/ONI.
