Autocorrelation of ENSO power spectrum

In Chapter 12 of the book, we have a description of the mechanism forcing the El Nino / Southern Oscillation (ENSO) behavior.  An important ingredient to the modeled forcing  is an annual impulse (with a likely biennial asymmetry) that modulates the hypothesized lunar tidal forcing.  We will show next how to confirm that the annual impulse exists simply by analyzing the ENSO power spectrum …
