英文摘要	Ningaloo Nino-the interannually occurring warming episode in the southeast Indian Ocean (SEIO)-has strong signatures in ocean temperature and circulation and exerts profound impacts on regional climate and marine biosystems. Analysis of observational data and eddy-resolving regional ocean model simulations reveals that the Ningaloo Nino/Nina can also induce pronounced variability in ocean salinity, causing large-scale sea surface salinity (SSS) freshening of 0.15-0.20 psu in the SEIO during its warm phase. Model experiments are performed to understand the underlying processes. This SSS freshening is mutually caused by the increased local precipitation (similar to 68%) and enhanced freshwater transport of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF; similar to 28%) during Ningaloo Nino events. The effects of other processes, such as local winds and evaporation, are secondary (similar to 18%). The ITF enhances the southward freshwater advection near the eastern boundary, which is critical in causing the strong freshening (>0.20 psu) near the Western Australian coast. Owing to the strong modulation effect of the ITF, SSS near the coast bears a higher correlation with El Nino-Southern Oscillation (0.57, 0.77, and 0.70 with the Nino-3, Nino-4, and Nino-3.4 indices, respectively) than sea surface temperature (-0.27, -0.42, and -0.35) during 1993-2016. Yet, an idealized model experiment with artificial damping for salinity anomaly indicates that ocean salinity has limited impact on ocean near-surface stratification and thus minimal feedback effect on the warming of Ningaloo Nino.
