A Multilinear Approach to Forecasting the El Niño Southern Oscillation
By Anoop Singh
Climate change impacts all people living on the Earth. The El Ni�o Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a system which influences the climate around the globe. For this reason, it would be helpful to create a procedure for predicting ENSO each year, allowing the population to understand and prepare for a potential climate in their area, months in advance. This study developed a procedure to create predictions of ENSO every year. This procedure is simple, using basic statistics and computer science to create forecasts more accurate than those currently existing. Additionally, the study helped specify the relationship between the pressure systems surrounding the Pacific and ENSO, assisting in creating stronger predictions and allowing us to better understand the phenomenon.
