SUMMARY:A history of El Niño / the Southern Oscillation\, Chaos & Com
 plex Systems Seminar\, Dan Vimont\, UW Department of Atmospheric and O
 ceanic Scicnces
DESCRIPTION:This talk will provide a brief history of our understandin
 g of the El Nino / Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomena from the late
  1800's through the present.  The talk will highlight how advances in 
 our observational networks and theoretical understanding of the tropic
 al atmosphere and ocean - advances that were not necessarily motivated
  by a desire to understand ENSO - have shaped the development of ENSO 
 theory.  Finally\, I will discuss an emerging shift in our current und
 erstanding of ENSO variability from the perception of ENSO as a linear
 ly unstable mode of variability to thinking of ENSO as a linearly stab
 le phenomenon that experiences transient growth through non-normal pro
 cesses.
