abstract = {The diversity of El Niño events is commonly described by two distinct flavors, the Eastern Pacific (EP) and Central Pacific (CP) type. While the remote impacts, that is, teleconnections, of EP and CP events have been studied for different regions individually, a global picture of their structure is still lacking. Here, we use Forman‐Ricci curvature applied on climate networks constructed from surface air temperature data to distinguish regional links from teleconnections. Our results confirm that both El Niño types influence the teleconnection patterns, however, with different spatial manifestations. Our analysis suggests that EP El Niños alter the general circulation which changes the teleconnection structure to primarily tropical teleconnections. In contrast, the teleconnection pattern of CP El Niños show only subtle changes to normal conditions. Moreover, this work identifies the dynamics of the Eastern Pacific as a proxy for the remote impact of both El Niño types.},
