ENSO (El Nińo and the Southern Oscillation) is considered as a stochastic driver that excites the atmospheric anomaly states, such as Pacific North American pattern. This can make 11‐year solar activity forcing of climate feasible through stochastic resonance‐a mechanism that amplifies a weak input to a nonlinear bistable system by the assistance of noise.
