How much can forecasters say about ENSO during the spring? A lot depends on which phase—El Niño versus La Niña— the Pacific seems to be headed toward.
Are sea surface temperatures located north of the equator important for El Niño or La Niña development? Yes! Introducing the Pacific Meridional Mode.
Crack out the popcorn, sit back, and marvel over the decay of El Niño.
It's been a tough year for the globe's coral and the scientists who use coral to paint a picture of ENSO back thousands of years.
The 2015-2016 El Niño will go down as one of the strongest on record, and also, thanks to El Niño Rapid Response Campaign, one of the best observed.
With multiple sea surface temperature datasets come questions. What are they all for?
You're not the only one wondering if we will see El Niño grow or continue into this coming winter 2015. How useful are March winds and subsurface temperatures across the tropical Pacific Ocean in predicting winter El Niño or La Niña states?
Guest blogger Dennis Hartmann makes the case that warm waters in the western tropical Pacific—part of the North Pacific Mode climate pattern—are behind the weird U.S. winter weather of the past two seasons.
At the beginning of February, the atmosphere was looking a little bit like El Niño. Is this just another rolling stone?
