likely result from the rather large biases in the climatology of
the atmosphere and ocean in the tropical Pacific in current
generation of global climate models (e.g., the double
Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) common to many of the
models). Whether or not the spatial, temporal and amplitude
characteristics of ENSO change in a warmer world, however, the
associated far-field impacts of ENSO will be different for
several reasons. For example, the pattern and amplitude of the
mid-latitude wintertime climate anomalies associated with ENSO
will change as the mid-latitude jets shift poleward; places that
experience drought during the warm (Australia) or cold (central
United States) phase of ENSO and that are
