ENSO Response Comparison Plots
Composite (average) atmospheric variables associated with 9 El Niño and 9 La
Niña events from 1948 to the present. Events are defined for winter(Nov-Mar) and summer
(May-Sep). Anomalies are defined as the difference from the 1981-2010 means (1971-2000 for the
climate division data). Options are available for comparing El Niño to La Niña,
anomalies to means and winter to summer. Set your browser window as wide as possible to view
plots side-by-side.
