El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (“ENSO”)

“Normal” SST Walker circulation

Correlations (×10) of fluctuations in annual mean sea level pressure with those at Darwin. The magnitude of the correlation exceeds 0.4 in the shaded regions. (After Trenberth and Shea, 1987.)

Sea surface temperature anomalies (C) 0 – 10S, 80 – 90W

SST anomalies (Nino 1+2) vs SOI

Annual rainfall (in percentiles) in a selection of regions Annual rainfall (in percentiles) in a selection of regions. Black bars coincide with "El Niño" years.
