Many scientists either working on the El Nino/Southern Oscillation
(ENSO) problem or its many applications have not been trained in
both the equatorial ocean and atmospheric dynamics necessary to
understand it. This book seeks to overcome this difficulty by
providing a step by step introduction to ENSO, helping the upper
level graduate student or research scientist to learn quickly the
ENSO basics and be up to date with the latest ENSO research. The
text assumes that the reader has a knowledge of the equations of
fluid mechanics on a rotating earth and emphasizes the observations
and simple physical explanations of them.
Following a history of ENSO and a discussion of ENSO observations
in Chapters 1 and 2, Chapters 3-5 consider relevant equatorial
ocean dynamics, Chapters 6 and 9 relevant atmospheric dynamics, and
Chapters 7 and 8 the main paradigms for how the Pacific Ocean and
atmosphere couple together to produce ENSO. Chapter 8 also
discusses the old mystery of why ENSO tends to be locked in phase
with the seasonal cycle. Successful dynamical and statistical
approaches to ENSO prediction are discussed in Chapters 10 and 11
while Chapter 12 concludes the book with examples of how ENSO
influences marine and bird life.
* Quick reference guide and step by step introduction to El
Nino/Southern Oscillation dynamics
* Keep informed and up to date on El Nino/Southern Oscillation
research and how El Nino and the Southern Oscillation can be
predicted
* Understand how El Nino can affect marine and bird life
