Improved monitoring and forecasting of El Niño, La Niña, and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) with advanced maps, data, and prediction models
El Niño, La Niña, and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a widely studied climate phenomenon because of its impact on human welfare and the environment. Both developed and emerging countries value predictive information on ENSO for anticipating regional shifts in year-to-year climate that can effect crops, water, and public health. Many climate centers around the world make predictions of ENSO events, but differences in the models lead to differences and potential confusion about the current and evolving state of ENSO. The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) at Columbia University addresses this problem by collecting and synthesizing data from global partners and to produce analyses and probabilistic predictions of the ENSO state for the next 12 months. Through extensive collaboration with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center and top modeling centers fro around the world, the IRI’s advanced forecasts and reporting services allow researchers and authorities to construct insightful expectations of ENSO evolution.
