ENSO and Climate in the News

The following articles have been collected by the staff of Pacific ENSO Applications Climate Center. They originally appeared in local and national newspapers and other news media from Hawaii, the USAPI, and the tropical Pacific islands region at-large. The articles document the effect of ENSO events in many tropical Pacific island locations and shed light on the varied social and economic problems ENSO creates in this region. Continued postings of current and historical articles will be made as time permits.

Links have also been made to other news sources of interest outside the Pacific Region.
