New El Niño model analysis advances key source of prediction skill
New model diagnostics promise to help improve models and predictions of U.S. seasonal to multi-year climate.
How Will a Warming World Impact El Niño?
ENSO is a major source of seasonal predictability and driver of global climate and extreme events. Changes in the seasonal evolution of ENSO during its onset and decay phases have received little attention by the research community. A new study published in Nature Communications aims to better understand these changes and ENSO’s impact.
El Niño driven fires affect the natural emission of an ozone depleting trace gas
New study highlights the causes of a large interannual variability in the natural emission of methyl bromide.
Enhanced North American carbon uptake associated with El Niño
A recent article supported by AC4 entitled “Enhanced North American carbon uptake associated with El Niño” was published June 5, 2019, in Science Advances. The study found that long-term atmospheric CO2 observations over North America document a persistent response to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation.

Upcoming workshop: Forecasting ENSO impacts on marine ecosystems of the US West Coast
The Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections and Climate Variability and Predictability programs will co-sponsor the Forecasting ENSO Impacts on Marine Ecosystems of the US West Coast workshop on August 10 and 11 in San Diego, California.
Report of El Niño 2015 Conference Released
A multimedia report is now available for the 2015 El Niño Conference held November 17-18, 2015 in Palisades, NY. NOAA’s Climate Program Office co-sponsored this conference, in partnership with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
Different Control of Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Eastern Pacific for Two Types of El Niño
Newly published research in Geophysical Research Letters by Boucharel et al.–and supported by CPO’s Climate Variability and Predictability program–seeks to understand these modes of expression, or “flavors,” of El Niño, and their influence on tropical cyclones.
