El Niño-Southern Oscillation

I don't know if this is of interest to anyone.

 

This 20th anniversary edition of PAGES news explores the elusive El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) from a paleo-perspective. The initiative for this special section came out of a 2011 PMIP workshop. In a mini section, a newly introduced format in the PAGES newsletter, four articles on data assimilation address methods of combining observations and model simulations.

I think its the case that when there is El Nino, the Southern Oscilliation is almost always contracted closer to Antarctica, but when there is a long period of positive ENSO, that doesn't necessarily mean its El Nino...

 

For example in the last year, conditions have been neutral ( No El Nino ) yet ENSO has almost always been positive.

These conditions by the way greatly affect temperate Australia ( southeast ), big time. Dry and warm.
