What Does ENSO Stand For?
ENSO stands for El Nino Southern Oscillation
ENSO, or El Niño Southern Oscillation, is a climatic phenomenon characterized by fluctuations in ocean temperatures and atmospheric conditions in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. It involves two main phases: El Niño, which is marked by warmer ocean temperatures and can lead to significant weather changes globally, and La Niña, associated with cooler ocean temperatures. ENSO has wide-ranging effects on global weather patterns, including droughts, floods, and impacts on agricultural productivity, making it a critical focus of climate research and forecasting.
