Description
El Nino and the Southern Oscillation is by far the most striking phenomenon caused by the interplay of ocean and atmosphere.
It can be explained neither in strictly oceanographic nor strictly meteorological terms. This volume provides a brief history of the
subject, summarizes the oceanographic and meteorological observations and theories, and discusses the recent advances in computer modeling
studies of the phenomenon.
