What Does ENSO Stand For?
ENSO stands for El Ni O Southern Oscillation
ENSO, or El Niño Southern Oscillation, is a climatic phenomenon characterized by periodic fluctuations in sea surface temperatures and atmospheric conditions over the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. It has three main phases: El Niño, which is marked by warmer ocean temperatures and can lead to significant weather changes globally; La Niña, characterized by cooler ocean temperatures; and the neutral phase, where conditions are close to average. ENSO significantly influences global weather patterns, impacting precipitation, temperature, and storm activity, with implications for agriculture, water resources, and disaster preparedness.
