New research has revealed that the impact of one of the world’s most influential global climate patterns, is much more far reaching than originally thought.

Scientists at the Met Office have discovered that, away from the tropics, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation  (ENSO) can influence Atlantic weather patterns a full year on from the original event. Research shows this one year lagged extratropical response to ENSO is as strong as the simultaneous

investments to policy makers for building resilient economies and keeping climate impacts at bay. In addition, PEEC actively promotes the engagement of the private sector in CIS production and use.
