ENSO and climatic variability in the past 150 years / Robert J. Allan -- Understanding and predicting extratropical teleconnections related to ENSO / Martin P. Hoerling and Arun Kumar -- Global modes of ENSO and non-ENSO sea surface temperature variability and their associations with climate / David B. Enfield and Alberto M. Mestas-Nuñez -- Multiscale streamflow variability associated with El Niño/Southern Oscillation / Michael D. Dettinger ... [et al.] -- El Niño/Southern Oscillation and the seasonal predictability of tropical cyclones / Christopher W. Landsea -- Climate and ENSO variability associated with vector-borne diseases in Colombia / Germán Poveda ... [et al.] -- Documented historical record of El Niño events in Peru : an update of the Quinn record (sixteenth through nineteenth centuries) / Luc Ortlieb -- Tree-ring records of past ENSO variability and forcing / Edward R. Cook ... [et al.] -- Tropical ice-core record of ENSO / Lonnie G. Thompson ... [et al.] -- Long-term variability in the El Niño/Southern Oscillation and associated teleconnections / Michael E. Mann, Raymond S. Bradley, and Malcolm K. Hughes -- Modulation of ENSO variability on decadal and longer timescales / Richard Kleeman and Scott B. Power -- Global climate change and El Niño : a theoretical framework / De-Zheng Sun -- Past ENSO record : a synthesis / Vera Markgraf and Henry F. Diaz.
Summary: The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is a recurrent feature of the climate in tropical regions. In this volume leading experts summarize information gained over the past decade on diverse aspects of ENSO, which have led to marked improvements in forecasting. This volume compares ENSO's modern morphology and variability with its recent historic and prehistoric behavior. It expands and updates Diaz and Markgraf's earlier volume El Niño: Historical and Paleoclimatic Aspects of the Southern Oscillation (Cambridge University Press, 1992). Key features include new paleoclimate records and new information that links ENSO variability to aspects of human health.
