Climate Context

1. bullets

ENSO Global Influence

  • Atmosphere-ocean interactions in tropical Pacific drive global weather patterns
  • Decades of research confirm worldwide climate impacts
  • Regional weather characteristics strongly influenced by ENSO state
  • Transition periods create heightened forecast uncertainty
  • Spring predictability barrier complicates seasonal forecasting
  • Agricultural sectors particularly vulnerable during transitions
