In the present study, the linkages between springtime vegetation greenness over Eurasia and El Ni\u00f1o are investigated based on two long-term normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) datasets from 1982 to 2015, and possible physical mechanisms for the teleconnections are explored. Results from the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) analyses consistently suggest that the spatial patterns of NDVI, with \u201cnegative-positive-negative\u201d values, have closer connections to El Ni\u00f1o. In particular, East Russia is identified as the key region with the strongest negative influences from Eastern Pacific (EP) El Ni\u00f1o on spring vegetation growth. During EP El Ni\u00f1o years, suppressed convection over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) may excite a Rossby wave from the BoB to the Far East. East Russia is located in the west of a large cyclone anomaly accompanied by the strong North and Northwesterly wind anomalies and the transport of cold air from Siberia. As a result, surface air temperature decreases significantly over East Russia and thus inhibits the vegetation growth during spring in the EP El Ni\u00f1o years.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9070628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,22]],"date-time":"2017-06-22T10:11:35Z","timestamp":1498126295000},"page":"628","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Satellite Observations of El Ni\u00f1o Impacts on Eurasian Spring Vegetation Greenness during the Period 1982\u20132015"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1856-7078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nansen-Zhu International Research Centre, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY), Albany, NY 12222, USA"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nansen-Zhu International Research Centre, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science &amp; Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Liming","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY), Albany, NY 12222, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2277","DOI":"10.1175\/1520-0442(2000)013<2277:SOCTCI>2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Sensitivity of climate to changes in NDVI","volume":"13","author":"Bounoua","year":"2000","journal-title":"J.
