GOAL OF THE CONFERENCE: To review the progress on the science of ENSO with a focus on examining the range of ENSO “flavors”, assess the existence of possible, and distinct precursors, an examine how the different oceanic and atmospheric processes that drive the different ENSO flavors and impact their predictability would vary in a warming world.

There will be 6 plenary sessions: i) ENSO  observations, including paleodata and analysis of recent events; ii) ENSO dynamics; iii) ENSO and other modes of climate variability. iv) Modeling and prediction; v) Impacts and Regional processes; vi) Climate Information and sustainable development and future of climate and ocean science.
