Forced Changes in Tropical Pacific Variability from Glacial Times to the Future — NSF Award to University of Texas at Austin (TX,

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a dominant source of year-to-year variability in temperature and rainfall affecting many regions of the world. The response of ENSO to external forcing varies in different climate models. Therefore, it is critical to test the fidelity of those models with records of past ENSO

AbstractThe El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a dominant source of year-to-year variability in temperature and rainfall affecting many regions of the world. The response of ENSO to external forcing varies in different climate models. Therefore, it is critical to test the fidelity of those models with records of past ENSO behavior from archives such as corals and cave deposits. However, there are few records of ENSO variability from times such as the last glacial period and deglaciation when there w
