Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant driver of year-to-year climate variability, with profound impacts on global weather patterns, ecosystems, and societies. This special issue of Atmosphere seeks to advance our understanding of ENSO’s complex dynamics, its interactions with broader climate variability, and its implications in a changing climate. We welcome high-quality research addressing the mechanisms of ENSO diversity and extremes, its predictability on seasonal to decadal timescales, and its teleconnections to regional climate anomalies, including extreme events. Studies exploring the interplay between ENSO and other climate modes, anthropogenic forcing, and emerging challenges in modelling and prediction are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue aims to synthesize contemporary research to improve climate risk assessment and inform adaptation strategies, providing a timely platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on one of the most critical phenomena in the Earth’s climate system.
