The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most prominent interannual climate signal, affecting weather, ecosystems, and societies globally. Growing evidence highlights the complex interactions between ENSO and other climate modes and patterns, which can modulate ENSO's dynamics and impacts and may offer potential for improving climate predictability. This session invites contributions that address all aspects of ENSO and its pantropical climate interactions both in observations and climate models. Topics include but are not limited to air-sea coupled dynamics, sub-seasonal-to-seasonal predictions, low frequency variations, externally forced changes, teleconnections, and impacts on various aspects of society. Studies examining the role of ENSO and pantropical climate interactions in shaping recent global surface temperature trends are also welcome.
