WORLD WIDE WEB RESOURCES
A number of web sites (active as of September 1998) provide up to date information regarding the current state of the ENSO mechanism and experimental
forecasts of ENSO-related sea-surface temperature conditions. The United States Government's primary site addressing these issues originates from
Climate Prediction Center (CPC).
http://nic.fb4.noaa.gov:80/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/index.html
The CPC reports information regarding monthly mean SST conditions averaged over four regions of the eastern and central equatorial Pacific. These are
the Niño 1+2, 3, 3.4, and 4 regions. It was found here that Wright's (1989) S index was most highly correlated with Niño 3 (r = .949) and
Niño 3.4 (r = .952) sea-surface temperature anomalies over the period 1950-1986.

The University of California's Scripps Institute of Oceanography also issues experimental forecasts of ENSO
SST conditions.

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Lab (PMEL) maintains a web page with
links to other sites:
