The energy dispersion process of westward propagating Rossby waves in tropical easterlies are investigated in the linear nondivergent barotropic atmosphere. The variations in wave energy and amplitude along energy dispersion paths are calculated by solving the wave action conservation equation. The results suggest that a westward marching ray can form a cycle-like path near the turning latitude that is located in easterlies. Waves with shorter periods propagate between two turning latitudes, which are located in either the easterlies or westerlies and have the largest meridional propagation range. Waves with longer periods propagate between a turning latitude in westerlies and a critical latitude in easterlies. Both wave energy and amplitude can simultaneously increase to their maximum values at the turning latitudes that are located in easterlies. This implies that waves may develop significantly. Wave energy and amplitude do not always have an in-phase variation when the ray moves toward the turning latitude that is located in westerlies. The oscillating ranges of wave energy and amplitude are also limited. In this case, waves may not develop significantly.

The ENSO phenomenon is investigated by building a fractional derivative recharge-discharge model in which the integer derivative is replaced with the left-sided Caputo type fractional derivative. The results suggest that when the highest order fractional derivative is larger than 1 but smaller than or equal to 2, the model exhibits a variation between exponential decay and pure harmonic oscillation. The system will strengthen to an El Niño/La Niña event and then weaken to the neutral state which does not require a zero value. Therefore, there is only a life cycle of an El Niño/La Niña event, rather than the life cycle of a complete ENSO event in the pure harmonic oscillation. When the highest order fractional derivative is larger than 2, the model exhibits an exponential-like amplified oscillation. The system benefits to exhibit the life cycle of strong ENSO events. The fractional derivative recharge-discharge model, in general, extends the integer model and can be applied in studying the complexity in ENSO phenomenon.
