The ENSO Signal is published by the Institute for the Study of Society and Environment at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, with financial support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Global Programs. It is available both in hard copy and an electronic version.

As an experiment to reduce costs, we have combined the Signal with the Network Newsletter. Let us know whether you think such a combined newsletter is useful to your research. Write to enso@ucar.edu with any feedback.

The ENSO Signal is intended for those interested in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle and its impacts on ecosystems and societies. We intend to provide news items, publications, web sites, and articles of interest to our readers.

It is published quarterly free of charge. Subscribe on line or at the address below. For the next issue, please send any materials for inclusion by 30 December 2004.
