16-18 October 2018 | Guayaquil, Ecuador
The goal of this conference is to review the progress on the science of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) with a focus on examining the range of ENSO “flavors”, assess the existence of possible, and distinct precursors, and examine how the different oceanic and atmospheric processes that drive the different ENSO flavors and impact their predictability would vary in a warming world. See the conference website for more details.
The call for abstracts will open on 15 July 2017 and closes on 30 April 2018.
