ENSO APPLICATIONS
CENTER
Researchers at WERI are involved in a cooperative
project with the University of Hawaii and the
Pacific Basin Development Council (PBDC) to study
the effects of a climatic condition called El
Niño on the weather of our part of the
Western Pacific.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) has provided funding to form an ENSO (El
niño Southern Oscillation) applications
center to do these studies. Part of the function
of the Applications enter is to provide information
to island water managers, emergency management
specialists and others with information on ENSO
and its affects on the weather in our region.
The emphasis of the impact on our part of the
Pacific is on drought and typhoon numbers and
intensities.
