This source discusses correlations between PMM and precession and this one between PMM and insolation but I am not entirely certain exactly what the correlation is, as the sources discuss PMM in standalone paragraph with no clear connection to high/low precession/insolation values.

I will also review this article. In addition, I will try to grab one of the other senior editors with more of a background in meteorology (such as Hurricane Noah) to ensure that this article is accurate and comprehensive in coverage. LightandDark2000 🌀 ( talk) 23:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
during springChange to "during the spring".
during winter trigger PMM modesChange to "trigger PMM modes during the winter".
2014–15 El Niño eventChange to "2014–16 El Niño event". Can link directly to the article.
and thus strongest interaction with PMM during these seasons.Change to "and thus strongest interaction with the PMM during these seasons."
distinct from the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)Add a comma after "(ENSO)" (before the ref tag).
that is strongest during winter.Change "that is strongest during winter" to "which is strongest during the winter".
being cooled/warmedChange to "being cooled or warmed".
These spread eastwardsChange to "These spread eastward".

causing SST changes that peak in springChange "peak in spring" to "peak in the spring".
NPO variations during winter,Change "during winter" to "during the winter".
increased insolation during spring facilitates the growth of PMM events.Change "during spring" to "during the spring".
facilitate the development of PMM.Change to "facilitate the development of the PMM."
In turn, PMM facilitatesChange "PMM facilitates" to "the PMM facilitates." Consistency is important.
associated with PMM are:Change "with PMM" to "with the PMM".
2013–2015 North Pacific marine heatwaveThe link for this phrase is very problematic, and must be corrected. It currently links to "The Blob", a 1958 film, which is completely unrelated to the subject matter at hand. I assume that the intended target is The Blob (Pacific Ocean)? If so, please correct the link.
lead to high sea levelChange to "lead to high sea levels".
induce anticyclonic atmospheric circulation anomalies over China characterized by descending air over eastern and ascending air over northern China.. This phrase has two problems. It is a run-on, and it is also confusing in part of the sentence. Add a comma after "anomalies over China", and change "over eastern" to "over eastern China".
Whether PMMChange to "Whether the PMM".
while during summer low atmospheric pressure over the northern and high atmospheric pressure over the eastern United States favour precipitation in the Midwest.Another phrase with run-on and ambiguity issues. Change to "while during the summer, low atmospheric pressure over the northern United States and high atmospheric pressure over the eastern United States favor precipitation in the Midwest." Also, link "northern United States" to Northern United States, link "eastern United States" to Eastern United States, and link "Midwest" to Midwestern United States.
Amazonian South America and PMM.Change "and PMM" to "and the PMM."
Bolivian climate and PMM.Change "and PMM" to "and the PMM".
ENSO variability by the PMMAdd a comma after "the PMM".
PMM events in springChange to "PMM events in the spring".
during summer and autumnChange to "during the summer and autumn".
and westerly wind bursts and also modulate sub-surface ocean heat content associated with El Niño development.This is another run-on. Add a comma after "wind bursts".
They further suggest PMM might influence the seasonality of El Niño events, as PMM events occur mainly during spring.Change to "They further suggested that the PMM might influence the the seasonality of El Niño events, as PMM events occur mainly during the spring."
events although there is no clear consensus on this association.Add a comma after "events" (before the citation tag).
may allow PMM to induceChange "may allow PMM" to "may allow the PMM".
2015 El NiñoChange to "2014–16 El Niño", and link to 2014–16 El Niño event.
appears to be due to varying SST patternsThe wording could be improved a little. Change "due to" to "caused by".
while in the "West PMM"Add a comma after this phrase.
relative humidity and wind shearAdd a comma after "wind shear".
between west Pacific accumulated cyclone energy and PMM.There are a few problems here. Change "west Pacific" to "West Pacific", for consistency. Add "(ACE)" after "accumulated cyclone energy", since this is a common abbreviation for this term. And also change "PMM" to "the PMM."
The earliest typhoon genesis is also earlierChange "is also earlier" to "also occurs earlier".
not by the eastern subtropical Pacific,Change to "by the eastern subtropical Pacific manifestation".
in these years.Change to "in those years."
Atlantic Meridional ModeThis subject does not have an article and is currently a red link. Unless it will get an article in the near future, it should be unlinked.
cold tongueLink this subject to Walker circulation instead, where the same subject is covered. There shouldn't be any red links in the article.
The activity of PMMChange "of PMM" to "of the PMM".
to volcanic eruptions such as the 1257 Samalas eruptionChange to "to volcanic eruptions, such as the 1257 Samalas eruption,".
and the South China Sea.Change to "and in the South China Sea".
and caused it to shift westwardsChange "westwards" to "westward".
Liguori and Lorenzo (2018) proposed the effect would become noticeable by 2020.I won't require this for a GA promotion, but since it's currently 2021, has this prediction been verified yet? I think it would be a good thing for readers to know.
during the few decades preceding 2020 and according to Liguori and Lorenzo (2018) may explain an increase in ENSO activity until 2100,This is a run-on. Change to "during the few decades preceding 2020, and according to Liguori and Lorenzo (2018), may explain an increase in ENSO activity until 2100,".
delaying the onset of warming there.What kind of warming? Oceanic warming? I assume that this phrase refers to oceanic warming. Please be more specific here.
the onset of Central Pacific El Niño eventsAdd a comma after "events", before the reference tag.
the increasing trend to central Pacific El Niño eventsChange "increasing trend to" to "increasing trend of".
These are all of the issues that I have identified. While the article is quite comprehensive and well-written, there are a handful of issues that need to be resolved before it can be promoted to GA status, including an severe hyperlink issue. LightandDark2000 🌀 ( talk) 23:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
MarioJump83 Can you tick off above that there is no plagiarism or copyvio? I did not find any on a quick look with the Earwig tool. If not can you explain any concern or question? Chidgk1 ( talk) 15:57, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
There is no much other than this article passes the 3b criteria since the first assessment, so I don't have any comments other than this passes for GA. Mario Jump 83! 03:54, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
As someone who has never heard of the subject before I found this article very encyclopedic but rather hard to understand. I wonder if more graphics, or even an animated graphic, might help.
I am not artistic myself but for a few graphics in the past I have explained what I thought was needed to Commons:Graphic Lab and they have drawn a very good graphic. For example for the simple English article about the automobile Ian Furst drew an excellent schematic https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile#/media/File:Simple_Electric_Car_propulsion_diagram.svg Chidgk1 ( talk) 08:06, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
