About this title

Synopsis

The El Niņo/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is a recurrent feature of the climate in tropical regions. In this volume leading experts summarize information gained over the past decade on diverse aspects of ENSO, which have led to marked improvements in forecasting. This volume compares ENSO's modern morphology and variability with its recent historic and prehistoric behavior. It expands and updates Diaz and Markgraf's earlier volume El Niņo: Historical and Paleoclimatic Aspects of the Southern Oscillation (Cambridge University Press, 1992). Key features include new paleoclimate records and new information that links ENSO variability to aspects of human health.

Book Description

In this volume leading experts summarize information gained over the past decade about the El Niņo/ Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which have led to marked improvements in our ability to forecast its development months or seasons in advance. The book substantially expands and updates Diaz and Markgraf's earlier volume El Niņo: Historical and Paleoclimatic Aspects of the Southern Oscillation (1992, Cambridge University Press). It w ill be of importance to a broad range of scientists and graduate students in meteorology, oceanography, hydrology, geosciences, ecology, public health, emergency management response and mitigation, and decision-making.
