Abstract:

ENSO is a coupled ocean-atmospheric chaotic damped oscillation, which in its most general form is often described by the Bjerknes feedbacks between SST, wind stress and the thermocline. Most research in the past has been somewhat focused on an oceanic point of view suggesting that the most important elements of the dynamics are in the ocean. Here I will present a view on ENSO that highlights the atmospheric dynamics important for ENSO (Hence the title). I will in particular discuss current research foci on: new ENSO dynamics, diversity, model errors and climate change.
